Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and create a stiffer mousse.
- If you don't have ground spices, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of each whole spice. Just grind them up in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
- This mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
