5 Tips For Balancing Sweet And Crunchy Textures In Mousse

By Bhavana Verma

Layer Neatly

Add the crunchy layers of praline or nuts neatly into the mousse.

Use Lightly Salted Crunchy Ingredients

Lightly salted nuts and praline enhances the sweetness and balances it.

Natural Fruit Textures

Dried fruits like raisins, cranberries etc., bring a chewy texture.

Right Pairing of Crunch

Avoid adding bulky elements and instead add thin crunchy ingredients like tuile shards, brittle, or cookie crumb.

Layers of Varying Sweetness

If mousse is sweet, balance it with bitter and nutty additions like nutty chocolate bark.
