Mousse question - how long to eat it?

[minxie]

Hi, can anyone tell me how quickly you have to eat a mousse after making it? I know shakes need to be finished within 15mins but wonder if the mousse mix "stablises" the vitamins and minerals?

 

[determinator]

no as it is still made with water so some of the vitamins may be lost after 15 mintues , so the rule still applies I am afraid

Thanks Determinator, shame though as mine aren't set enough in that time

Try using a little bit more Mousse powder or a little less water, and it should set within 15mins. x

The vits and minerals are a minor problem as very little gets lost. But still......

It's mainly the texture that changes and of course, that's not so much of a concern with MAM

Even so, best to make with less water (making sure the water is very, very cold before mixing) and try to keep within the 15 mins

I find if you put the water in the freezer for 20 mins .. then mix up and put in fridge or freezer for 5-10 mins it sets brilliant
