Remarks

Following the same idea, it is possible to make chocolate chantilly.
If you have a lot of splashes when whipping, it could mean that your mix is too liquid.
Don't forget that the Chantilly will get firmer, even after you stop whipping, So it's not necessary to overwhip.
If you don't use all the preparation at a time, refrigerate it for later use. If it goes flat, melt and whip again.
