How to Store Chocolate Mousse Cake
So, what do you do with any leftovers (if there are any)? Fear not – storing your mousse cake is a breeze.
Simply cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and the mousse to soften slightly.
So go ahead, channel your inner pastry chef, and get ready to savor every luxurious bite. Until next time, happy baking and sweet indulgence, Lykkers!
