What do you use your Blender for ?

Brazilian passion fruit mousse

I've made it for new years eve but I'm sorry, I forgot to take pictures and now it's too late.

It's delicious, refreshing and extremely easy to make.

Ingredients:
2 cans of Nestlé sweetened condensed milk
2 cans of Nestlé table cream (the can that is the same size as the condensed milk) It works ONLY with that brand (easily found in supermarkets and even dollar stores, usually sold as "Media Crema").
1 bottle of Maguary Passion fruit concentrated juice. (This is a little bit harder to find, but you can find in Brazilian stores).

Blend everything for 5 minutes, pour the mixture in a nice serving bowl or individual cups. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Enjoy!

Obs. If you find fresh passion fruit, you can decorate with some of the pulp. (seeds)

The taste is awesome and even with all that sweetened condensed milk it's not heavily sweet as the sour from the passion fruit balances the taste.

I use my blender for everything from drinks to experimenting with vegan cooking. I have a Vitamix 5000 bought at an estate sale. Upgraded with the smaller container so it fits under the cabinets. It replaced a Vitamix 3600 bought at the scratch and dent sale they used to have at the factory in North Olmstead, OH. Since we were the only ones there on a snowy December evening the salesman let us look through all the cartons and pick out our base and container. Got a perfect blender at a bargain price. Also have a decades old Bamix stick blender bought at a Home and Garden Show demonstration. I burnt out a couple of stick blenders before the Bamix. I do so love my kitchen toys.

Recently bought a Whole Bean coffee, because I forgot to read the label to make sure it was Ground...

My mom's grinder was too far away to get, and the cord for it got too tired from being wrapped around the unit, so in short, here's my blender used for grinding coffee, although hard to clean out, and I may have done this feat with it before:

(Of "coarse" you should only do small batches at a time, and I probably didn't!)
