Esponjado (fluffy mousse) is a traditional and popular Colombian dessert with many variations using lulo (naranjilla), orange, lime, passion fruit, coffee and more. Esponjados are usually made with egg whites, whipped cream, condensed milk and your choice of puréed fruit. It is one of those perfect desserts: simple, easy to make and absolutely delicious! Esponjado has a mousse texture that’s light, fluffy, creamy and fruity. A slightly different mousse to end a meal wonderfully. This is a great dessert for entertaining because of its beautiful presentation; you can also make individual servings and prepare it a day in advance. This mini portion of Raspberry Esponjado is just enough to be satisfied, but I have no doubt it will leave you wanting more. I added a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom of the serving glass for texture. ¡Buen provecho!
