Super excited to share my Frozen Passion Fruit Mousse with White Chocolate Shavings appearing in The Washington Post, All we Can Eat today, titled 'Mousse call for Passover'. I hope to soon write about the whirlwind, a comedy of sorts, that I go through even when it comes to one single recipe. Read what inspired this delicious, simple yet elegant dessert and get the recipe here to brighten up your holidays. Enjoy the additional photos not appearing in The Washington Post. Scroll down..one little acknowledgment and announcement below.
I wish to acknowledge a friend who's macs are executed with intricate precision, Annapet of The Daily Palette. She now is dabbling in sugar craft, you would never guess she is a beginner, just look at her twitter avatar. Annapet started experimenting with Italian meringue for macs just shortly before I did so I was picking her brain, on dm, while I started playing with Italian meringue over the winter months, for krembo and this frozen Passion Fruit Mousse dessert.
Lastly, I will be teaching a number of Indian Cooking classes at the state of the art Living Social at 918 F St. facilities. The classes were announced today. I hope to meet, in real life, many familiar faces from the DC metro area and it is a short trip, for a fun outing in DC, whether you are in Baltimore, Richmond or Philadelphia. Click here to sign up!
Wonderful! I love passion fruit and white chocolate together! I bet your classes will be fabulous; hope you have a stellar turnout.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am an Annapet fan, too, although somehow I didn't realize she was using IM for macs or making gumpaste flowers, these days. Thanks for letting me know:)
TY So much Jenni. I think recently but you got to double check with Annapet!

DeleteWhat a pairing! I have love/hate relationship with white chocolate. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't. I do tend to love it when paired with fruit, so I have no doubt this would be up my alley. Congrats on the wonderful achievement Shulie!
ReplyDeleteThx Bri very gracious of you. You know what?! Believe it or not, me too, but it was the first flavor combination that came into my mind. My heart was set on passion fruit and I couldn't shake my gut feeling that this pairing would be incredible & it was.
DeleteWoah! Firstly congratulations on the washington post! :) The passion fruit is paired just perfectly with white chocolate - which I love. :)

DeleteWell..... I don't consider it chocolate.... but I do love it! And with passion fruit - WOW! I can taste it and it's wonderful!
ReplyDelete:) I was waiting for this comment. I don't have strong feeling about it either way but I completely get what you say.:) I know, right?! The sensation jumps out of the pages. I wonder if last one is gone by now?!
DeleteThis is an unusual Passover dish and I think, it is fabulous. You are good. Today, I don't want to cook but this is something, I would like to make, later in the week. I would do it with the mangoes, I have, just waiting to be used.
ReplyDeleteTY so much & how brilliant, you were reading my mind. Giving me an excuse to add, yes, absolutely, make it with mango pulp, guava, prickly pear, etc.:)
DeleteThe hubby loves white chocolate and I would love to make this for him. Congrats on the fabulous achievement sweetie :) Wish I could come and attend the class too!
ReplyDeleteAww Kankana how sweet!! I would have loved to meet you!! Let me know if you end up making this for your hubby! :)
DeleteShulie, congrats on the Washington Post feature and also on the cooking classes! Just one of the two is exciting enough but both together is beyond awesome! Love the flavors going on in this mousse--I was never fond of white chocolate but I have been really enjoying it the last couple of years. This is a winner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment on my blog! :)
TY so much Jean. I completely understand, same with me. Still, I rarely use it but this occasion not only called for it but demanded it. Was beyond my control! :)

DeletePassion Fruit and White Chocolate is a match made in culinary heaven! And knowing you, this dessert is not overly sweet! Truly, passion fruit and white chocolate are on my short list of dessert favorites!

ReplyDeleteTY Sarah. Indeed. One fruit I absolutely love white chocolate with.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteTY Emily! Sometimes the photos come out well sometimes I struggle.
DeleteThis is beautiful and I'm so excited to hear that it was featured in the Washington Post. You are so talented, and I'm not surprised. Your photographs are just stunning. Thank you for sharing...and inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteHi Shulie,
ReplyDeleteI just saw this recipe on the Washington Post and it really looks yummy, but I do have two questions, So the sugar syrup remains thin it doesn't have to thicken or change color and instead of the ramekins/cups can it be served in a single bowl or it wont settle?
thanks!
HI Vivian, I've emailed you back but to answer your questions: Yes, just melt the sugar into thin clear liquid and this is best portioned into individual cups as instructed in the recipe. I hope this helps.
