What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

  1. Avoid over-whipping the cream as it can result in a grainy texture instead of a smooth and fluffy mousse.
  2. Be careful when melting the sugar for the praline topping, as it can burn quickly. Keep a close eye on it and stir constantly.
  3. Make sure to let the praline topping cool and harden before breaking it into pieces; otherwise, it may not set properly.
  4. Do not skip chilling the mousse before serving, as it helps the flavors meld together and sets the mousse for a better consistency.
  5. When folding the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, be gentle to preserve the light and airy texture of the mousse.
