Because of that, the mousse did not get fluffy. It was like eating a bowl of truffle. This is not particularly a problem in itself, but it was a bit too dense. That being said, my family had no problem finishing off the entire thing :) If I make it again, I'll pour the MadisonHomeCookernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-19585465432506386872009-12-28T18:02:36.700-08:002009-12-28T18:02:36.700-08:00I made this today.
