Fernanda Capobianco's Passion Fruit "White Chocolate" Mousse With Fresh Strawberries

4 from 1 ratings

“I love the flavor of passion fruit – it’s tart, but with a fresh, flowery backnote that is unlike any other fruit. Here I add a passion fruit puree to a rich mousse made with cacao butter and tofu. I like to serve this delicious mousse with a topping of fresh sliced strawberries or other local berries. "
