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.
