Passion fruit Mousse

This Brazilian passion fruit mousse, originated in Brazil and is an easy recipe that is creamy, sweet, and slightly tart.
It has a creamy but slightly stiff texture that melts in your mouth.
Using fresh fruit will always give you the best flavour, but I can not always find fresh passion fruit.  Recently I bought a bottle of passion fruit pulp from Costco. 
You can buy Passion Fruit pulp cans on line, some speciality stores may have.  I brought mine from Australia.

You can serve the Mousse in 4 small dessert mould, glass bowls, mason jars or even Martini glasses.  You can also pour it  in a medium size bowl.
