Can you use white chocolate baking bars for the shells?

In reply to Aletta Lake. Hi Aletta. I'm so sorry to hear that you had problems with the recipe. Did you use the gelatin? It's surprising that it was runny with that amount of gelatin in the recipe. If you can give me more information, I can help you troubleshoot if you'd like.

Mine was a runny mess shroud added stiff cream and poured into moulds. Follow recipe to the tee. Weighed every ingredient.

In reply to cynthia denise brown. Hi Cynthia! Great question. Do not replace unflavored gelatin with flavored gelatin. The flavored variety contains less gelatin than a packet of unflavored and will effect the stability of the dessert. Furthermore, flavored gelatin has a lot of sugar in it which will change the texture of the mousse. If you are just looking to up the flavor profile, you could add an extra tsp of lemon extract or zest. I'd recommend adding the extra extract and zest slowly and tasting between each addition until it suits you. I hope that helps.

Question: Could I use flavored gelatin instead of plain to amp up the flavor profile?
