Passion Fruit Mousse

Passion Fruit Mousse (Mousse de Maracuja)
This is a tastebud tickler. It's one of my favorite Brazilian desserts, made vegan. Sometimes you just want something sweet, but not too sweet. This is the perfect blend. A subtle sweetness with a hint of tart. The good thing about this dessert is you don't have to feel guilty afterwards. Agave nectar is the only sweetener used in the recipe, plus there are many benefits to eating passion fruit.
There are only 2 simple steps to this simply delicious dessert. Just put the ingredients into the blender, blend for about 10 minutes, place in serving dishes, and let it chill in the refrigerator.
There are so many health benefits to this dessert, so I hope you enjoy the recipe and realize how healthy it is for you as well.



Recipe:
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup water
1 package Passion fruit concentrate (or 2 passion fruits)
1/4 cup agave nectar

How to Extract Passion Fruit Juice

Benefits of Passion Fruit
It helps to fight against disease of the blood, intestines, and nervous system. It is one of the richest iron fruits, so it helps with iron deficiency anemia. Even though it is a non-heme iron, it is still highly absorbed due to it having plenty of vitamin C.
There is plenty of fiber in passion fruit, which means it helps with constipation. It is one of the richest  fruit products in soluble fiber. It also helps with nervousness and anxiety.

Bloopers

Making videos is not as easy at it may look, and I'm not one to miss out on making people laugh. So I'm going be vulnerable with you all and show you my array of mistakes while filming. There were plenty more, but I'm sure I will be able to make more bloopers videos in the future.

I'm not one to write a script before filming. Typically I just wing it. First I figure out what recipe I want to make, then write down the recipe and some health tips, and then I just have at it. There are plenty of outtakes for each section, but luckily it all comes out somehow.



I hope you all enjoy it and that it at least makes you smile.
