I made this Vegan Passion Fruit Mousse for my mom’s birthday last month. The passion fruit made it bright and tart, and my friend said it was elegant.
Refreshing Vegan Passion Fruit Mousse
This mousse combines the exotic flavors of ripe passion fruit with creamy coconut milk to create a luscious and airy dessert. The recipe takes about 20 minutes of active preparation time and sets in the refrigerator for a few hours to achieve the perfect texture, serving approximately 4 people.

- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon agar-agar powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh passion fruit or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Agar-Agar: In a small saucepan, combine the agar-agar powder and water. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until fully dissolved.
- Mix Ingredients: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, passion fruit pulp, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until well combined and smooth.
- Combine: With the blender running, slowly pour in the dissolved agar-agar mixture until fully incorporated.
