Instructions
Step 1
Combine *60 grams (2 ounces) of passionfruit puree with seeds* and *100 grams (3.5 ounces) of mango puree* in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix *20 grams (0.5 ounce) of sugar* with *5 grams (0.2 ounce) of pectin*. Gradually sprinkle this into the puree, stirring continuously, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in *100 grams (3.5 ounces) of frozen mango cubes*. Pour the mixture into half-sphere molds, filling each with *15 grams (0.5 ounce)* of the mixture. Freeze until solid. You will need two halves glued together to form a complete sphere for assembly.
Step 2
Heat *120 grams (4 ounces) of milk* with *7 grams (0.2 ounce) of pre-soaked gelatin* until it reaches a boil.
Pour the hot mixture over *200 grams (7 ounces) of white chocolate* and stir well. Use a blender to combine until smooth.
When the mixture reaches a temperature no higher than 35°C (95°F), gently fold in *150 grams (5 ounces) of lightly whipped cream*.
Step 3
Using sphere molds with a diameter of 6 cm (2.5 inches), pour the mousse into the mold halfway.
Carefully submerge a frozen passionfruit-mango pearl sphere in the mousse until it's halfway in, then fill with more mousse up to the mold's brim. Freeze completely before unmolding and serving with your favorite garnishes.

Faq
- What type of chocolate should I use?
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate for a smooth and creamy texture that complements the fruit flavors.
- Can I make this pastry in advance?
Yes, you can prepare and freeze the filled molds ahead, then assemble and coat the pastries on the day you plan to serve them.
- How do I ensure my mousse has the right texture?
The key is to mix the chocolate with the gelatin-milk mixture at temperatures below 35°C to prevent separation and ensure a silky mousse.
- What alternatives can I use for passion fruit puree?
Mango, papaya, or even peach purees can substitute passion fruit, though the flavor profile will slightly change.
- How can I prevent air bubbles in my mousse?
Blend your mixture thoroughly and pour it slowly into the molds to minimize air bubbles, ensuring a smooth finish.
- How do I achieve a seamless joint on the fruit spheres?
Lightly warm the edges of the hemisphere mold to slightly melt them before pressing together for a clean seal.
