FAQs

Q: Can I skip gelatin?
A: Gelatin helps the mousse hold shape. You can try a whipped cream-only mousse, but it will be softer and harder to unmold.

Q: Can I make the domes ahead?
A: Yes. Freeze them and glaze on the day you plan to serve for best shine.

Q: How do I fix a grainy chocolate glaze?
A: Warm it gently and stir. If it is too thick, add a small amount of neutral oil or warm cream and mix until smooth.

Q: Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries?
A: Both work. Thaw frozen berries and drain excess liquid before use.

Q: How long do I let the glaze set?
A: A few minutes at room temperature is usually enough. Chill briefly if you want it fully firm.
