I attempted to make Tenina's Raspberry, Lime & White Chocolate Mousse today and I suspect it is nowhere near thick enough. I haven't really made mousse before so I don't know if it will thicken up overnight or not.
The recipe calls for 3 tsp powdered gelatine but my local supermarket only had the gelatine leaves. After doing some googling, I ended up using 5 1/2 sheets of gelatine but I'm still not sure if that was enough. The other change I made was I substituted lemon for lime as that is all I had on hand.
Assuming that it will not thicken up overnight, can anyone suggest a way of thickening it up? Should i add a bit more gelatine? I want to take it to a BBQ tomorrow (lunchtime).
Thanks in advance.

i am not sure of this recipe, i dont have the book. how much cream did u use and was it pure cream
-
500g whipping cream (I used thickened cream).
I am hoping that I am asking this question prematurely - I just took another quick look and it does appear to be thickening up a little. Fingers crossed by morning it will be OK.

check b4 u go to bed ;D

Phew.. left the mousse in the fridge overnight and it seems to have thickened up nicely. Doing a happy dance now ;D
Thanks for your help Uni. I learnt something new as I didn't know thickened cream had gelatine (or something similar) in it but now that I think about it it does make sense.
