Ilson Goncalves, owner of Montclair’s hottest new restaurant, Samba Montclair, recently stopped into the Kettle Kitchen to demonstrate how to make traditional Brazilian Passion Fruit Mousse (Mousse de Maracuja).

According to llson, “all the Moms in Brazil make it.”  I could see why: it’s totally easy! If you’re a little late on planning your Valentine’s Day meal, this recipe is the perfect option for something quick and delicious.

Watch the video to see how you can blend up Passion Fruit Mousse at home.  All you need is a blender and a refrigerator. Ilson also suggests experimenting with your favorite flavors - pomegranate, peach, mango, guava, what ever you like!  Go for it!
