Prepare the gelatin mix by adding 8 g of unflavored gelatin to 1/4 cup of water and stir. Set aside for 2 minutes.

Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds until dissolved, then set aside to cool.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of passion fruit pulp (265 g) and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (397 g).

Add the cooled gelatin to the passion fruit mixture and blend all ingredients using a hand blender until emulsified and air bubbles form.

In another medium bowl, add 290 g of cold heavy cream and whip on medium to high speed until soft peaks form.

Carefully fold the passion fruit mixture into the whipped cream, ensuring not to lose air bubbles.

Transfer the mousse mixture into medium bowls and refrigerate for 3 hours to set.

To prepare the topping, in a medium saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 cup of water.

Add the pulp of 3 passion fruits to the saucepan and cook on medium to low flame, stirring until the mixture thickens into a syrup.

Store the syrup in an airtight container to use when the mousse is set.
