💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Blend paneer at high speed for 90-120 seconds to break down protein curds completely, as under-blended paneer creates a grainy texture that won't smooth out during chilling.technique90-120 seconds
- ✓Use a 3:1 ratio of paneer to milk by weight to achieve proper mousse consistency - too much milk creates a pudding texture while too little prevents smooth blending.ingredient3:1 ratio
- ✓Sift cocoa powder before adding to prevent lumps, as cocoa's fine particles clump when they contact the moisture in blended paneer.technique
- ✓Chill for minimum 4 hours instead of 2-3 hours because paneer proteins need this time to fully set and develop the characteristic mousse texture.timing4 hours minimum
