@smallpersonx

perfect! let us know how does it taste :)

[ibneeg]

I was wondering if i can use this as a cake filling?

[misslilduchess]

can we use gelatin powder? if so, how much do we use?

[academiabarilla]

@misslilduchess

Yes you can use gelatine powder. For the amount it depends how consistent you want the mousse. Usually 1 oz for a strong texture, less if you prefer it smooth. Any way it depends also from the kind of gelatine you use, to be sure refer to the packet instructions.

is icing sugar powdered sugar you get from the store (has corn starch [corn flour]).

[RandomTheroy]

will wallmart have gelitin!!!!

[jkun22]

can you replace the gelatine with some amount of egg yolk ?

[academiabarilla]

@jkun22 no you cannot replace the gelatine with the egg yolk. Evantually you can leave out the gelatine but in this case the mousse will not keep the shape so you need to eat it from a glass.

More than magnificent!! I love strawberry mousse thank u

[MrJakavana]

your mousse looks a bit too dry..... I think next time you might want to whip your cream to ribbon stage instead of peak stage. By doing so, your puree can be easily folded in with the cream, and the mousse will give you a better mouth feel.

looks really unnattractive, being honest looks like pink cottage cheese badly moulded

Where can I find the gelatin, and the cream?

[MrJakavana]

@Finshou gelatin can often be found at the baking section in the super markets. they may come in the powder form instead of gelatin sheets. Both are the same, but just a different form.

cream is located in the milk section.

I thought he said meat instead of mint.opps. yummy. i neearly used a bit of chicken lol.

Hi can you tell me instead of Gelatin can we add some thing else , cause we dont want to add gelatin........so what can we replace with the gelatin

[academiabarilla]

As gelatine is a thickener, you can use agar agar instead. Agar agar is a natural thickener that comes form a seaweed; you dont have to soak it but put it in the hot liquid in the same proportions of the gelatine.
