It might be thin at the start but should not separated. I am not certain if the temperatures are super important for proper emulsification as well. What kind of aloe gel are you using? I am out and actually planning on making a batch this week so I can do some testing.<br />What I might suggest is to heat the whole batch back up to 130º and then whip with the stick blender. Are you using a stick blender? Otherwise, stick it in a regular blender or food processor to make sure that the initial emulsification has occurred.hobby baker Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734828549763197439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179138569444008963.post-28219924414144082014-01-26T16:18:20.695-08:002014-01-26T16:18:20.695-08:00What I should have said is that there is a lot of ...What I should have said is that there is a lot of liquid still standing even after I've whipped it Do I just keep whipping as it cools?Lacey & Vaylenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972287694813819778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179138569444008963.post-64266961373881513002014-01-26T16:09:11.477-08:002014-01-26T16:09:11.477-08:00I am in the process of making this right now....I&...I am in the process of making this right now....I'm at the part where it has cooled for about 30 minutes and I've whipped it every 5-10 minutes but it's still very separated.
