Beat egg whites to soft peak
Eggs are a must while making a mousse at home. It helps in thickening the texture and, at the same time, makes it fluffy. First, whisk the eggs white separately in a bowl and then incorporate it into the remaining batter. Make sure you beat the whites to soft peaks, either using an electric blender or a hand mixer. Next, whisk the eggs white back and forth until the final texture is glossy, foamy and peaky.
Use heavy and fresh whipped cream
Who doesn’t love a thick creamy texture along with the decadent softness? Fresh and heavy whipped cream is the key to the perfect bakery-style mousse. You can either get a packet of fresh whipped cream from your nearest store or beat it home.
Refrigerate until chilled and set
Once you are done with the entire preparation, pour the batter into a baking dish and leave it to refrigerate until it's correctly set and chilled. Depending on the freezing time, you have to wait for at least an hour before you can serve it and relish it.
