I was so excited to discover frozen passion fruit puree cubes in the supermarket freezer; this delicious and flavorful fruit is sometimes difficult to find and is usually quite expensive. I knew I wanted to create something special for Yom Tov with it. This airy and exquisite-tasting mousse cup is elegant and easy at the same time, perfect for a Yom Tov dessert!

Hi! Each cube is slightly different in weight, but we think around 4 cubes would be around 1/2 cup, which would be around 100 grams.

I can't get Passion fruit cubes. How many Passion fruits per cube?
Thanks

Passionfruits are pretty small... I'd assume about one fruit per cube, or one fruit per 2 cubes.
