FAQ
Q: Do I need knowledge of baking before making a chocolate mousse cake?
A: Although clear knowledge and experience of being a baker will come in handy, making a chocolate mousse whipped cake requires no special expertise, both in the handling of the dispenser and also in the process of making.
Q: What type of chocolate do I need to get?
A: “Cooking” chocolates are different from the “eating” chocolate we mostly consume. Cooking chocolate melts smoothly and easily. So, cooking chocolate is more recommended for use.
Q: How do I separate the egg yolk from egg white easily?
A: Refrigerating an egg before using makes it easier as egg white and yolk are best separated when the egg is cold (note: egg white fluff when closer to room temperature, so I’ll advise you separate and keep aside both while preparing the other ingredients).
Q: How many hours can it take to prepare?
A: 10-15 minutes for active preparation and 1-3 hours waiting time.
Q: Can I add a flavor twist?
A: Yes, you can, but do make sure to add when the chocolate is melting
