Where can I find frozen Passion Fruit Pulp?

Frozen passion fruit pulp can be found in the frozen aisle at your local grocery store. It can usually be located in the international section of the frozen aisle. If you have trouble finding the frozen pulp, you may use passion fruit juice instead. I promise, it will not compromise the taste. Although, I have made this passion fruit mousse both ways, and I do prefer making it with the frozen passion fruit pulp.

How Long Can I Store Passion Fruit Mousse?

For the best taste, store this dessert in your refrigerator for up to 4 days. Preferably in an air tight container. If you decide to store it in a bowl, ensure you cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap will ensure your dessert stays fresh and smells from the refrigerator do not transfer to your mousse.
