8 Do’s and Don’ts For Perfectly Creamy Chocolate Mousse

By Bhavana Verma

Do Use High-Quality Chocolate

Mousse’s flavor is greatly affected by the type of chocolate used so make sure to use high-quality chocolate.

Do Fold Whipped Cream Gently

Eggs and whipped cream should be folded gently in circular motion to keep the frothiness.

Do Chill

Refrigerate the mousse for 2-4 hours to help set the creamy texture before serving.

Do Temper Chocolate

After melting the chocolate, cool it down slightly before adding eggs and cold ingredients.

Don’t Overwhip Cream and Egg Whites

Overwhipping can make the mousse grainy and separate so whip only until soft peaks form.

Don’t Mix with Hot Chocolate

Cool down melted chocolate and temper gradually before mixing into eggs as it can cause curdling.

Don’t Skip Sifting

Always sift cocoa powder and powdered sugar before adding to the mixture to avoid lumps and make smooth mousse.

Don’t Serve Without Presentation

Layer the mousse with elegant additions like nuts and cracker crumbs or with whipped cream.
