Disastrous Chocolate mousse

So fuming. Am 9 months preg (due in 5 days) its boiling hot and now the mousse i spent ages on is broken.

The recipe sounded a little strange - chop up white choc, add heated cream to melt, stir in, then seperately whisk double cream then fold the two mixes together. I did this, was way too thin, so recipe suggests continue whisking - tried this, wasn't working for about two minutes, at which point it split. Its totally ruined, am really cross.

Is it just me, or is that a really arse about tit way to do things? I've never come across a recipe before that tells you to keep whisking after you've folded something in. Just seems so strange. I hate gordon ramsey.

Does sound strange. Whisking after folding in would knock all the air out, surely?

Maybe it meant whisk JUST the cream more?

But that would again only work BEFORE folding!

It was wrong. Gordon is crap. Nigella rescued me - hurrah for nigella! Who knew making chocolate mousse with marshmellows would work?
