So, this week was a more desserty sort of recipe! We made this amazing passionfruit mousse. Our original plan had been to make a fruit mousse one week, and a chocolate mousse the following week, because they are significantly different processes, but we're in the middle of a move right now, so we've had to change plans! The chocolate mousse video will be soon, but please note that our videos will be a bit different going forward! The major change will be that we are no longer using a gas stove, as our new apartment only has an electric range
However! This is a delicious recipe, the mousse has a very subtle flavour of passion fruit, nicely complimented by the tart and intense flavour in the jelly. We like to have a few of the seeds from the strained pulp in the jelly because they're pretty and they are completely edible, adding a pleasant crispy texture to the otherwise smooth and creamy dish. We tasted the juice that we were using for the jelly after heating it, and adding the cognac, and it tasted just like Jolly Ranchers. So delicious!

They're tri-fold symmetry inside, so there's no real "halfway" point to cut them open along, and the insides are maybe the most alien-like things I've ever seen.
