Funn to make, and nice that you can make it in advance.
The mousse looks and tastes great, and the guests was impressed!
But next time i will use a brownie bottom instead. None of us liked the chocolate biscuit bottom.
It tasted bitter and did not «fit» the rest of the dessert.
Glad you tried them out. I loved the biscuit bottom and the texture it brings, but yes, you can definitely use a brownie.
Your chocolate raspberry Mousse desert looks amazing. I would love to try making it but my granddaughter has a severe tree nut allergy. Can I substitute something else for the almonds. Thank You
You can use same amount of flour instead. Hope you will try it out 🙂
Can you leave the dessert out longer than an hour to thaw? I am participating in a progressive event and we are the last house. They will be in the fridge for about 5 hours before we arrive at our house..
Loved this recipe! The mousse was silky smooth and chocolate biscuit, white chocolate, and raspberries all paired together wonderfully! I am allergic to cow dairy and substituted the whipping cream with a vegan whipping cream and made my own white chocolate. It worked perfectly even with the changes so I’m sure the original is fantastic as well! Thank you for this great recipe!
Hi, once you take these out of the freezer/fridge, would they melt? How long can they stay out at room temp would you say? Thank you.
They don’t melt, they have gelatin as well. Maybe they will be just fine 1 -2 hours.
