Cherry Mousse
Pre-soak the gelatin in water for 15 minutes. Whip the egg white. Cook the sugar and water to 115 - 120°C. Pour the sugar syrup over the whipped egg whites, keep whipping until the meringue reaches 35-40°C. Add Starfruit to the Italian meringue. Add the melted gelatin. The temperature of the Cherry Mousse should be at 25 - 30°C. Incorporate lightly whipped Passionata. Pipe ± 40 gr per mold

Whipped Cream
Pour the Passionata in a mixing bowl and whip at medium speed using a whisk until stiff peaks are obtained. Use a Saint Honoré nozzle to pipe 3 long stripes side by side. Freeze and cut to fit on the glazed mousse.

Glaze
Warm-up the glaze to 35 - 40°C Use an immersion blender to eliminate the air bubbles. Apply the glaze on the mousse at -18 to -20°C
