This Venezuelan passion fruit delight comes together in just 10 minutes with three ingredients, whipping evaporated milk, condensed milk, and passion fruit concentrate into a light, mousse-like dessert. Creamy, tangy-sweet, and bursting with tropical flavor, it’s impossible to resist.

Two glass cups filled with creamy passion fruit mousse, each garnished with a sprig of fresh mint, placed on a white surface with utensils beside them.

Raised on Carnation

Growing up in Venezuela basically means growing up on evaporated milk. In my house it was always Carnation®, the same can with the red carnation that lived in my mom’s pantry, and my grandmother’s before that.

It for t went into everything: ponche crema, quesillo, that never-fails-to-impress tres leches. Just the sight of that white tin was enough to know something good was coming.

These days I keep it around for the same reason they did. This time I reached for the lactose-free version, in that resealable carton, every bit as creamy as the original.

Enjoy it!

How to Make Passion Fruit Delight

Two glass dessert cups of creamy dessert garnished with fresh mint leaves, placed on a white marble surface next to a pair of silver spoons
  1. Freeze the evaporated milk. Just until it turns slushy, never a solid block.
  2. Whip the evaporated milk. Beat at medium speed until it doubles in volume.
  3. Add the condensed milk and passion fruit concentrate. Keep beating until the mixture turns smooth, airy, and creamy all at once.
  4. Serve. Spoon into individual glasses right away.

Tip: If you’re not serving right away, keep it in the freezer, but no longer than an hour so it doesn’t firm up and lose that light, airy texture.

FAQs

Did You Know?

Passion fruit gets its English name from Passiflora, the Latin name for the passion flower. Spanish and Portuguese Jesuit missionaries in South America saw symbols of Christ’s Passion in the flower’s unusual anatomy, and the botanist Carl Linnaeus adopted that name in his official plant classification in 1753.

    That’s so cool! What a yummy summer dessert! I had no idea there was lactose-free evaporated milk, I’m going to definitely pick some up for my dairy-free house this holiday season.

    It might be September, but with the heat here in Virginia we can certainly enjoy this delicious summer dessert. Best part is that you don’t need to bake anything!

    I’ve always hated evaporated milk. But I can’t wait to make this! The passion fruit really makes it more exciting but I would try this with a whole bunch of different fruits. Maybe I’ll make this for my next get together.

    I was also raised on carnation evaporated and condensed milk. My Mother used them so many times in baking countless recipes. I had not seen either of them for years until recently. Passion fruit is so delicious and I can’t wait to try this recipe.

    Aqui pasa lo mismo. We are raised on Carnation. Y este dulcito es sumamente delicioso. Aqui somos locos con eso. Me sorprende mucho haber leido sobre las novelties de Carnation.

    • Aren’t these cartons super cool? Sometimes you don’t need all the container, so this carton thing is pretty convenient. The almond milk is extremely good and nutty. Yes we were raised on Carnation. Can you imagine a tres leches without Carnation? I can’t.
