When I was a teenager I had this big dream of going to Australia to learn English; unfortunately, $$ was an issue then and I had to study the language here.
My love for Australia hasn’t changed – Joao and I plan to go there for vacation someday; while that doesn’t happen, I go on listening to Aussie bands and cooking recipes from Aussie mags and fabulous foodies. :)
White chocolate mousse with passion fruit
from here
250g good quality white chocolate chopped
1/3 cup (80ml) whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, separated
1 ½ cups + 1 tablespoon (375ml) heavy cream
6 tablespoons passion fruit pulp
Place the white chocolate, milk and vanilla in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Heat until the chocolate is just melted, stirring regularly. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Set aside.
Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form then fold through the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Whisk the egg whites in a large, dry, clean stainless steel bowl until soft peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, fold through the chocolate mixture in two batches.
Divide the mousse between six 1 cup (240ml) capacity serving dishes/bowls.
Cover and chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until set.
Spoon passion fruit on top of the mousse just before serving.
Serves 6

You really can't go wrong with white chocolate or passion fruit anything. Looks tasty! I could eat a dozen, I'm sure.
I'm sure you'll be holidaying in Australia before you know it!
Also, these look delicious. White chocolate and passionfruit is such a delicious combination.
Patricia I am positively turning green with envy because I can't get any (reasonably priced) fresh passionfruit anywhere around where I live (right by the capital of the US!). Gorgeous little pots, my dear.
Passion fruit always makes me think of Australia because it was the first place I tried it! These look great!
Alice, that lychee mousse sounds delish! :)

Xiaolu, that's so bad. :(
It must be like finding fresh raspberries and blueberries here in Brazil - they cost an arm and a leg! :S
Thank you, gorgeous!

Bri, passion fruit is huge here in Brazil too - I am sure you would love it here. ;)
This looks totally gorgeous! I love white chocolate with lime, and with passion fruit it must be out of this world.
While I'm here, may I have a little whine? Your RSS feed now includes nothing but the title of the post ... and an ad for a dating service. I totally get why you want people to click through, but couldn't you include at least a paragraph of the post? As it is, I very rarely click through to your blog now -- or even look at the feed, because I know it'll have no useful information in it. I like to catch up with feeds when I'm offline, and now it's impossible.
Hi, Veronica!
Thank you for your comment - I have tried including a bit of the text but without any success. As I don't want the feed to have the complete post, I had to keep it the way it is, now. If you have any tips, I would gladly use them.
Hi Patricia
I found this:
http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=42662
It seems to suggest you can have a partial feed, either a short excerpt or controlled by where you put the jump break. I don't use Blogger any more, so I'm not sure if these options still apply.
Veronica, thank you for taking the time. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for my blog. :(
Hi Patricia,
Made these and we all loved it.. Thank you for such a lovely recipe... posted it on my blog.. please do check if time permits :)
