BRAZILIAN PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE
A really quick and easy dessert to prepare and delicious too. Preparation/Cooking time does not reflect refrigeration time. Even tho the recipe says refrigerate for one hour, I actually found either preparing it first thing in the morning for dinner that nite or refrigerating overnight allowed it to fully reach the mousse consistency.
