Description
Since 1919, Irca has provided the Italian pastry industry with elite technical ingredients. The Lilly Chocolate Mousse Mix is a professional-grade "2-step" cold-process powder designed to create rich, velvety chocolate mousses and bavaroises with unparalleled ease. By combining the mix with water or milk and folding it into whipped cream, you achieve a stable, airy dessert that features a deep cocoa profile and perfect structural integrity. This mix is specifically engineered to replace the complex process of making a chocolate pâté à bombe or custard base, saving hours of labor while ensuring a consistent, luxury result.
As a Canadian seller based in Calgary, Alberta, we provide these essential Italian pastry foundations with fast shipping across Canada to support hotels, caterers, and high-volume bakeries.
BEST FOR: Chocolate entremets, layered cakes, mousse cups (verrines), chocolate tarts, and semifreddos.
DIETARY NOTE: CONTAINS COCOA. GLUTEN-FREE.
Why It Works
-
Instant Stabilization: Formulated with professional-grade bovine gelatin and stabilizers, providing the structural strength needed for high-layered cakes and precise slicing.
-
Rich Cocoa Profile: Contains high-quality cocoa powder for a sophisticated chocolate taste that avoids the "syrupy" sweetness of lower-grade mixes.
-
Freeze-Thaw Stable: Engineered to prevent syneresis (weeping) after defrosting, making it the ideal choice for modern "grab-and-go" or frozen pastry programs.
-
Silk-Smooth Texture: Dissolves instantly without lumps, ensuring a uniform, professional mouthfeel in every batch.
-
Massive Labor Savings: Eliminates the need for tempering chocolate or melting gelatin sheets, providing a standardized result across different kitchen shifts.
Use Cases
-
Classic Entremets: The perfect base for a "Triple Chocolate" cake layer; holds up beautifully when stacked with ganache and praline.
-
Banquet Verrines: Quickly produce hundreds of chocolate mousse cups for large-scale events with 100% consistency.
-
Stable Cake Filling: A reliable, non-collapsing filling for Swiss rolls, eclairs, or tiered birthday cakes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Can I use milk instead of water? Yes. Using milk will result in a creamier, "milk chocolate" profile, while water emphasizes the dark cocoa notes.
-
How long does it take to set? Once the cream is folded in, the mousse should be refrigerated for at least 2 hours (or frozen) to reach full structural stability.
-
Can I add melted chocolate to this? While the mix is flavored, you can fold in a small amount of melted chocolate or chocolate chips for added texture.
-
Is it gluten-free? Yes, Irca Lilly Chocolate is formulated without gluten-containing ingredients.
-
How many servings per bag? One 1 KG bag of mix (when combined with water and cream) produces approximately 6–7 liters of finished mousse.
-
Is it suitable for vegans? No, this product contains dairy derivatives and bovine gelatin.
