Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Pastry Base

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Roll out the **pastry dough** on a lightly floured surface until it reaches about 3 mm (0.1 inch) thick. Cut into desired shapes, such as squares or rounds.

Place the cut pastry pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool completely.

Step 2

Prepare the Mousse

In a mixing bowl, combine the **cream** and **sugar**. Whip them together until soft peaks form. This might take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.

In another bowl, blend together the **mango** and **passion fruit purees** with the **coconut milk** until well combined. Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the tropical blend, ensuring a smooth consistency without deflating the cream.

Step 3

Assemble the Pastries

Once the pastry bases are cooled, spoon or pipe the **tropical mousse** onto each pastry. Make sure to fill them generously for a delightful taste in every bite.

Chill the assembled pastries in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the mousse to set properly.

Step 4

Decorate and Serve

Before serving, top each mousse pastry with fresh **strawberries** and **raspberries** for added flavor and color. You can dust them lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Arrange them on a beautiful platter and enjoy these **tropical treats** at your next gathering or celebration!
