Hi Aarthi
I used the same measurements you mentioned and the whipped cream was frozen too... but the mousse appeared quite darker than yours in the pics... it wasnt as smooth as seen too.. the taste was awesome though. Made it twice and both the times it was dark and looked a little different. like crumbs... do you know why did that happen both times?
Aarthi
@Anonymous i think u have over whipped the cream so it has turned grainy. next time dont opverwhip, the cream should have soft peaks
Anonymous
Thnks Aarthi will try it next time. I always have a trouble in whipping the cream. the first time i tried your black forest cake i overwhipped and it seperated to butter!!!! I did do a lot of research about whipping just to be sure i dont mess up this time.. But guess my research wasnt good enuf!!! 😀

Is there any some brands of whipping cream that you can recommend? At least 2-3 options would make it really easy to select what is readily available in the market.
Thanks in Advance

I've never made mousse before, so I don't know if coffee powder is typically an ingredient for chocolate mousse. Does the end result taste like coffee? We have some non-coffee people in our house, so want to check before I try it! Thanks! 🙂
Shenthamarai Selvi
Aarthy, instead of coffee powder, shall I include cocoa powder or chocolate chip powder ?
Aarthi
no dear
