Default Chocolate Mousse w/whipped cream blending problem

Hi

Alot of the mousse recipes i use have you fold in the whipped cream at the end, but i find that if i fold it in, my mousse will be marbled is there a solution to it not being marbled? or does every just whisk it in, which i thought would defeat the purpose.

You need to prime the base a little. Take a third of your cream and blend it in rather fast and harsh and maybe take a whisk to it. This will incorperate the cream and avoid the marbling and chipping and change your color. You will lose a little air. Then begin to fold in the rest of your cream as you are doing now.

You also may just need fold longer. panini is right though you need to fold the cream in in several additions.

..........and make sure your cream is only soft whipped. Have "whipped" whipped cream is a common cause of your problem. Remember - Softly, softly.
