FAQ
-
Can I use light whipped cream instead of heavy cream?
While you can, the mousse will not be as stable or rich. Heavy cream is recommended for the best texture and flavor. -
Can I add other flavors to the mousse?
Yes, you can add a drop of peppermint extract or a splash of coffee liqueur for different flavor variations. -
How long does this mousse last in the refrigerator?
This mousse is best consumed within 24 hours of making it, as the whipped cream can start to deflate over time. -
I don't have Nutella. Can I use another chocolate spread?
Yes, you can use any similar chocolate-hazelnut spread. The flavor might be slightly different, but it should still work well.
