In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the passion fruit pulp until just slightly heated (do not boil). Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the cooled passion fruit and gelatin mixture until well combined.
Next, fold in the whipped cream gently to maintain the lightness of the mixture. Then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.
Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Before serving, garnish with a drizzle of passion fruit pulp and white chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
