Nice recipe and tasted great but your mirror glaze should be made a day ahead and refrigerated over night. Then reheat the glaze to 100F or 38C and pour over, that way the glaze is thicker when it is poured and covers the frozen mouse with a thicker more even coating.

I will definitely try to do this !!! Thanks for your wonderful recipes!!!
Ps I love the editing!!

I made this and came out really well! I just wanna know how I can make the walnut caramel layer less hard 'coz I find when people are, the caramel layer was a bit hard not that it's "unbiteable" but it doesn't break easily with spoon. Any tips on that?
Awesome channel! Very well explained too. I'll be coming back to your channel for my future trials too.
Take care
Stay safe

Looks great and good work ! Instead of using walnuts i'm going to use brazil nuts, will let you know how i got on. Stay safe

Hi. What should be the texture of the walnut caramel? I made it but find it's a bit hard and chewy to be an insert. Did I over cook it?

[tablefortwo]

Hi, thank you so much for the video. I wonder, can we make velvet effect on the mousse cake?

[duncanjames]

Thank you for the excellent recipe tutorial and for the measurements in grams! So much more accurate and easier. In Canada, we use the metric system but are measurement bilingual. LOL. I liked the pace of your video - perfect. Thanks also for the written measurements. I'm a believer (subscriber ;-) ).
