    Mix a moose

    Hi all I am getting some mix a moose for the first time tomorrow night and just wondering how everyone find using this and if anyone has tips or is there a 'knack' to using this?

    Excellent! I love it when this question comes up.

    There've been a lot of posts over the years about the best way to make

    mix-a-mouse
    Mix a moose-image.jpg

    Or mix-a-moose
    Mix a moose-image.jpg


    Basically, you need a much bigger blender for the moose.

    More seriously...

    I like to use around 200ml of water when making mousse.

    Put the water you're going to use in the freezer for around half an hour before hand. Another tip - put the level scoopful of mix-a-mousse into the packet you're going to use and mix it well in the packet before adding it to the chilled water.

    You need to blend this stuff for a while - a good minute (yes, that long!)


    To get it to set, you can put the bowl of sludge in the fridge for 5 minutes (I stick it in the freezer cos I'm mega impatient) - and hey presto, 5 minutes later, it's ready for eating.

    Perfect thanks Lilly, I have a few spare packs so have room for error. After 20 weeks I'm starting to find the diet is getting harder, so thought a wee moose might add something new

    I love mousse. Haven't had any in a while, actually. Hmm, maybe tomorrow...

    And wow, 20 weeks? Well done!

    I made mix a mousse/moose/mouse tonight, and it worked!!! Added too much water but it has set regardless, and made a huge bowlful as you can see! Very very very filling. I mixed the powder with the shake, added the mix to cold water in the blender and blended for about a minute. When I poured it in to the bowl it was the same consistancy as shake and expected it fo be a fail! Stuck it in the freezer for 10 minutes, et voila!

    Yes it's good. Used a toffee and walnut shake, which is one I haven't had since I first did Cambridge nearly 5 years ago! I remember it being much sweeter than it was this evening. Took a while to eat all that and feel absolutely stuffed - more so that I would after drinking a shake, but wonder if that is because I have had just tetras the last couple of weeks.

    Note sure, can't see why you can't have it daily. It is 18 extra calories I believe
