Passion Fruit Mousses with Raspberry Swirl
- a 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in light syrup, thawed
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
- 8 passion fruit (available seasonally at specialty produce markets)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 or 4 drops of yellow food coloring if desired
- 3/4 cup well-chilled heavy cream
- 12 raspberries for garnish
- In a blender puree the frozen raspberries with the syrup, strain the puree through a fine sieve into a saucepan, and stir in the cornstarch mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, boil it, stirring, for 1 minute, and chill it, covered partially, until it is cold.
- Halve the passion fruits over a sieve set over a bowl to catch any juices and scoop the seeds and pulp into the sieve.
- Scrape the seeds with a spatula until the juice and most of the pulp has been extracted and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice.
- In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over moderate heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved completely.
- Add 1/3 cup water and the sugar, heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, and in a metal bowl combine well the gelatin mixture, the reserved passion fruit juice, and the food coloring.
- In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and reserve it.
- Chill the passion fruit mixture set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, stirring until it is the consistency of raw egg white and fold in the reserved whipped cream.
- Spoon the passion fruit mousse and the raspberry swirl mixture decoratively into four 1 1/2-cup goblets, chill overnight, and garnish them with the raspberries.
