My Mum used to make this Mousse for us when we were little. Always popular at parties. Re Mirza's comment, sometimes Mum's would be a little like blancmange or custard in texture in the bottom of the bowl & the top was ok. She could never work out why this was. Maybe there wasn't enough air whisked into it as the ingredient's aren't exactly difficult to get wrong...I really don't know. Suffice to say your next Mousse could be just right so I wouldn't worry...Enjoy!
