I need a little help with mousse mix... Yuck!

[13st By Xmas]

So, I tried to made a shake 'mousse' this afternoon, I followed the instructions - did the blender & refrigerating. Seemed smooth and finely mixed in. Looked promising!

15m later..... LUMPS! Lumps everywhere! It wasn't anywhere near set, very.... runny. But still lumpy. Maybe a bit lumpier at the bottom of the bowl? It made me shudder, eww!

It's been half an hour & it's still a disgusting texture. Not a mousse, not a jelly, it's just a lumpy gooey mess.

I wonder what I did wrong? Is there a secret to this, anyone else have problems? Help

I'm not sure what the instructions are, but something you could try, is to mix the gelatine and the shake mix in the shake packet before you add it to water. If you add it separately to the shake mix and then try to stir it in (blender, shaker), it does go lumpy, in my experience anyway. It's rare to get lumps if you mix it in well with the shake mix before water goes anywhere near it. Good luck and let me know if that works for you!!!!
