Aunty,
Can omit the orange liquer if don't have? For the orange mousse, do we need to whip the cream first before folding in? Many thanks!
Hi delia,
yes, you can omit orange liquer and add in a tsp of orange essence instead. For mousse, you need to whip the cream first before folding in..

Hi WY,
Whip till Soft peak. It's easier to fold and it will be smooth. If you whip till stiff, it will be difficult to fold into a smooth texture.

Hi Aunty,
I tried this recipe today but the whipping cream seems to be too little compare with other ingredients. Is it 200gr whipping cream instead of 100gr ?
Thanks for your reply.

Hi MG,
100 gm of Non-dairy whipping cream is enough.
I think you used a wrong kind of whipping cream. I think u are using Dairy whipping cream which has a 35% fat content.

Oops ! I am wrong ! I used diary whipped cream instead of non-diary. Thank you very much Aunty for correcting me. However, if I only have diary cream, should I double the quantity ?
Thank you very much for replying and happy new year to you.
MG.
hi mg,
yes you can double it.
