- Place the passion fruit and gelatin mixture in a bowl of cold water and let it cool down for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use an electric mixer to whip the cream until peaks form, and then use a spoon to mix in the passion fruit juice mixture – (if using condensed milk just mix it with the passion fruit juice or if using half condensed milk and half cream then whip the cream and then stir in the passion fruit juice and condensed milk).
- Combine the egg whites and tartar cream in a large whipping bowl and mix until stiff peaks form.
- Whisk 1/3 of the egg whites with the passion fruit and whipped cream mix.
- Next use a spatula to gently fold in the remaining stiff egg whites.
