Ingredients:
1 can of heavy cream (200 ml) — Heavy cream (also called whipping cream) provides a creamy, smooth texture and a rich dairy flavor. It is the liquid base that gives body to the dessert.
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (200 ml) — The condensed milk provides the characteristic sweetness of this dessert, as well as a thick texture and a mild caramel flavor. It is responsible for making the dessert irresistibly sweet.
200g whipped cream — Pre-whipped whipped cream adds volume, lightness, and an airy, fluffy texture. Fold it in gently to avoid deflating it.
1 sachet of passion fruit juice — Passion fruit juice powder (passion fruit flavored powdered drink) provides a tropical, tangy, and refreshing flavor that perfectly contrasts with the sweetness of condensed milk. It also gives a vibrant yellow color.
A handful of chocolate chips — Chocolate chips add a crunchy texture and a bittersweet contrast that balances the sweetness of the dessert. They are mixed into the batter before refrigerating.
Step-by-step preparation
Step-by-step preparation
Step 1 (Mixing the liquid ingredients): In a large bowl or the bowl of a mixer, pour the 1 can of heavy cream (200 ml), the 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (200 ml), and the 200 g of whipping cream. Make sure the whipping cream is cold so that it retains its texture.
Step 2 (Beating): Cover the bowl (if using a mixer with a lid) or simply begin beating with a hand-held electric mixer on low speed. Beat for 2 minutes until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 3 (Adding the passion fruit): Add the 1 sachet of passion fruit juice powder to the mixture. Continue beating for another 2 minutes, until the powder is completely dissolved and the mixture has a smooth, homogeneous, pale yellow texture. The passion fruit powder provides the characteristic flavor and aroma.
Step 4 (Incorporate the chocolate chips): Using a spatula or large spoon, add a handful of chocolate chips to the mixture. Gently stir with a folding motion until the chips are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Do not use an electric mixer in this step to avoid breaking the chips.
Step 5 (Pour into glasses): Pour the mixture into individual plastic cups, glass goblets, or small molds, filling each to about 3/4 of its capacity. You can use clear glasses to appreciate the layers and chocolate chips.
Step 6 (Refrigerate): Refrigerate the glasses for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert has completely set and has a firm but creamy consistency. If desired, leave it overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7 (Serving): Serve the dessert chilled, straight from the refrigerator. Garnish with more chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or chopped nuts if desired. Ready to enjoy this delicious dessert!
Variants
Strawberry dessert: Substitute passion fruit juice with strawberry juice or mixed berry powder. Add fresh chopped strawberries.
Lemon dessert: Use powdered lemon juice or fresh lemon zest and a few drops of lemon juice.
Without chocolate chips: Omit the chocolate chips for a milder version. Garnish with shredded coconut.
Coffee dessert: Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in a little hot milk.
With fresh fruit: Incorporate pieces of fresh passion fruit (the pulp with seeds) into the mixture before refrigerating.
Cooking Tips:
Select quality ingredients. Opt for a good brand of sweetened condensed milk, fresh whipped cream, and high-quality heavy cream to ensure the best flavor and texture. Do not over-beat the mixture after adding the chocolate chips so they don't break. The minimum chilling time is 2 hours, but if you leave it overnight, the texture will be firmer and the flavors will meld better. If the passion fruit juice powder has lumps, sift it before adding it to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this dessert chilled in individual glasses. Garnish with fresh fruit such as passion fruit, strawberries, or raspberries, additional chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut. You can also add a dollop of extra whipped cream just before serving. It's perfect as an after-dinner dessert, for a children's party, or as a sweet treat anytime.
Tips:
For a lighter mixture, you can fold in stiffly beaten egg whites (although the original recipe doesn't include them, this is an optional variation). If you can't find passion fruit juice powder, you can use fresh passion fruit pulp (strained to remove the seeds) and adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. Store the dessert in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended as it will affect the texture of the whipped cream. For a more elegant presentation, serve in glass cups with alternating layers of the mixture and crushed cookies.

Frequently Asked Questions
: Can I use plant-based cream? Yes, you can use coconut or soy cream for a lactose-free version. The texture will be slightly different.
Can I substitute homemade whipped cream for whipped cream? Yes, you can make whipped cream by whipping 200 ml of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of icing sugar. Do not use canned whipped cream, as it will not have the same consistency.
Can I use natural passion fruit juice instead of the sachet? Yes, use 100 ml of strained passion fruit pulp (without seeds) and slightly reduce the amount of cream to compensate for the extra liquid.
Why didn't my dessert set? The likely causes are: it wasn't refrigerated long enough, the whipped cream didn't have enough fat (minimum 35%), or too much liquid was added.
Can I freeze this dessert? It's not recommended, because the whipped cream becomes grainy when thawed.
Can I make the dessert in a large pan instead of individual cups? Yes, use a springform pan or baking dish. The chilling time will be the same (at least 2 hours). Cut into serving portions.
