What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

  1. Avoid overbeating the egg whites, as this can cause the meringue to become dry and lose its light and airy texture.
  2. Make sure to let the meringues cool completely in the oven to prevent them from collapsing or becoming chewy.
  3. Be careful not to overmix the mousse when folding in the whipped cream, as this can deflate the mixture and affect the texture of the dessert.
  4. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set properly and achieve the perfect consistency.
  5. When garnishing with fresh berries, make sure to wash and dry them thoroughly to prevent any excess moisture from affecting the mousse.
