Pour the contents of the can of condensed milk into a bowl. Add the same amount of passion fruit juice, using the empty condensed milk can as a measuring cup.
Beat the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined. Then, add the heavy cream (without whey) and mix again.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the pineapple gelatin in the amount of water recommended on the package.
Add the dissolved pineapple gelatin to the main mixture and stir well until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream.
Pour the mousse into tall glasses and refrigerate until set.
For a decorative touch, top the mousse with diluted passion fruit pulp and its seeds before serving.
