RECIPE TIPS
1. We like a creamier and more consistent mousse, but if you prefer a more liquid mousse, add one more egg to the recipe (make the recipe the same way, just add one more egg yolk and one egg white).
2. Store the mousse in the refrigerator in an airtight container to make it last longer. Our advice is to never store the mousse for more than 3 days, after this period of time it may begin to lose texture and quality.
3. If you are serving the mousse for a special occasion,garnish with raspberries, strawberries, chocolate sprinkles or whipped cream.
