I’ve tried similar things in the past, but when making truffles; I noted a “gummy” texture, but nothing so dramatic as happened to you above! I wanted to ask, do you recall if the percentage indicated was based on the full mass of the recipe, or only the liquid component? I.e., did you add x% of the recipe, or just x% of the cream?

Thanks! Tim

Found you through the link in your comment at Kymos’s recipe collection. I have a suggestion for the mango cookies. If you’re in the U.S., try Trader Joe’s freeze-dried mango slices (very tasty). The ground slices may work in flavor, texture, and color. They also have freeze-dried strawberries and blueberries. If you’re not fortunate to have a local TJ, you can probably find freeze-dried mango online like the raspberries. Happy baking!
