A 10ounce package frozen
raspberries in; thawed
; light syrup
2 teaspoon Cornstarch dissolved in 1
tablespoon cold
; water
8 Passion fruit; (available
; seasonally at
; specialty produce
; markets)
2 One half teaspoon Unflavored gelatin
One half cup Sugar
3 dr Yellow food coloring if; (3
to 4)
; desired
Three fourths cup Wellchilled heavy cream
12 Raspberries for garnish

In a blender puree the frozen raspberries with the syrup, strain the puree
through a fine sieve into a saucepan, and stir in the cornstarch mixture.
Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, boil it,
stirring, for 1 minute, and chill it, covered partially, until it is cold.

Halve the passion fruits over a sieve set over a bowl to catch any juices
and scoop the seeds and pulp into the sieve. Scrape the seeds with a
spatula until the juice and most of the pulp has been extracted and reserve
One half cup of the juice. In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over
moderate heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved completely. Add 1/3
cup water and the sugar, heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is
dissolved, and in a metal bowl combine well the gelatin mixture, the
reserved passion fruit juice, and the food coloring.

In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and reserve it. Chill
the passion fruit mixture set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water,
stirring until it is the consistency of raw egg white and fold in the
reserved whipped cream. Spoon the passion fruit mousse and the raspberry
swirl mixture decoratively into four 1 1/2cup goblets, chill overnight,
and garnish them with the raspberries.

Serves 4.
