Faq

  • How do I prevent my mousse from deflating?

    To prevent deflation, be sure to gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Avoid over-mixing, which can knock out the air.

  • Why is my mirror glaze not shiny?

    Your mirror glaze may not be shiny if it was poured at the wrong temperature. Ensure it's at the recommended temperature (usually around 90°F/32°C) before pouring.

  • Can I make the mousse desserts ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the mousse desserts up to 1-2 days in advance. Keep them refrigerated and only apply the mirror glaze a few hours before serving.

  • Why did my mousse have a grainy texture?

    This can happen if the chocolate wasn't melted properly or if it seized. Melt the chocolate slowly and evenly, and make sure to cool it slightly before incorporating it into your whipped cream.

  • How can I achieve different glaze techniques?

    Experiment with various pouring methods and combine colors for unique effects. For example, practice the "leopard" effect by using two contrasting glaze colors simultaneously.

  • What's the best way to store leftover mousse cake

    Store any leftover mousse cake in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within 2-3 days for the best taste and texture.
