Feel disappointed that vegetarians don’t have a similar product available to them. It would be lovely to have the mousse as an option on the plan. Surely LighterLife should have come up with a vegetarian option by now?

Fabulous to have a chocolate mousse for pudding, feels like a proper treat.
I found it quite hard to make at first with a normal shaker as I ended up with unpleasant globs of mixture but after experimenting, I found that this works best for me: empty a sweet shake pack into a dessert bowl and add two (measured) level teaspoons of mousse mix, stir until no white mousse mix powder is visible. Put 200ml water into a magic bullet mixer, add the mixed powders and then blitz for about 20 seconds. Pour it back into the bowl, stick it in the fridge for 10 minutes then tuck in – yum!

Thanks for the tip Linda!

iv discovered the art to mixing this is to first put the water in the shaker then the shake mix then the mousse powder. with a spoon lightly mix the two powders together without touching the water at the bottom then shake and there will be very little to no blobs of gelatine. or you could put the two powders in a bowl mix together first then put in the shaker which i used to do at first but then it was just to longer process and i just wanted to get it in the fridge! lol

Hi Joanna, Thanks for the handy tips on how to make up the mousse mix!

Quick trifle treat! – This mousse mix is fabulous! Turns an ordinary shake into a filling topping for the raspberry jelly. (A very quick ‘trifle’ treat!)
Take a shake sachet, add 2tsp mousse mix and some ice in a LL shaker. To prevent any ‘lumps’, mix for at least 60seconds and then pour over jelly, put in fridge for 5-10 mins and just enjoy!!)
Sitting down in the evening with a good size bowl of LL trifle is my absolute go to treat!

Hit and miss – Bit hit and miss when mixing. Tried three times, twice with chocolate shake and once with strawberry. Shake by hand, if you use a hand blender i find the gelatin just congeals around the blender blades.

Great product – Wouldn’t be without it, transforms shakes into creamy mousse

Great as an indulgent treat! – Love this! I use it with all my shakes but with the Vanilla one, it turns out like a creamy, white chocolate mousse. The teaspoons do have to be quite heaped though and I blends for a good minute with an ice cube in the measured water

Really useful – I add 1 tsp to milkshakes (and blend with ice) – then put it in the fridge for 10 mins before drinking. That makes a great, thick milkshake rather than a watery shake.

Use more than 2 tsp – Tried this twice being careful with the amount and timing. Unfortunately did not work on either occasion. Will use more next time.
