About OvoFree Mousse
Louis Francois OvoFree Mousse is a plant-based powder that replaces egg whites in recipes like meringues, chocolate mousse, and fruit foams. Made from a blend of potato protein isolate, hydrolyzed pea protein, and flax fibre, it provides foaming, emulsifying, and stabilizing power—all without using eggs.
This cream-colored powder has a neutral taste and a light plant aroma. When mixed with cold water and whipped, it creates a white, firm foam that holds well in many pastry and dessert applications. OvoFree Mousse is ideal for creating vegan, allergen-free, or egg-free recipes without compromising on texture or volume.
Use:
How to Prepare:
-
Measure the required amount of cold water into a mixing bowl.
-
Add the appropriate amount of OvoFree Mousse powder.
-
Blend with a hand blender until fully mixed.
-
Transfer to a stand mixer and whip at maximum speed for about 5 minutes, or until a firm, tight foam is formed.
-
Use immediately in your mousse or meringue recipe.
Note: The presence of fat (e.g., from chocolate or cream) can reduce foaming. For best results, whip separately before folding into other ingredients.
