heston Blumenthal’s Chocolate Mousse
Forget all you know and watch Heston combine Water and Chocolate to create a stable mousse. It was invented by a French chemist named Dr. Herve This. The recipe is 270 ml. water to 350 grams chocolate. Be sure to use a high quality chocolate.
Its amazing and I've seen this work. And for lazy fellas like me, if u have a lift-bowl style stand mixer, just slide an ice bath beneath the mixer bowl and whip the chocolate and water. The mixture will do a better job and you wont have to bother your arm either.
Genius 🙂 pure & simple. I can't wait until his restaurant opens in Melbourne!
Going to try this, tomorrow. Let's just watch it go horribly wrong lol
What are the proportions??!!!
Actually gonna try it now and see how it goes
Wat if I added melted ice cream to this !!!
LOVE THIS RECIPE! Tasted it when hubbybear made it … it was rich and creamy without too much guilt ;)
Anybody try this with 1 part passion fruit juice to 1 part water??
But, chocolate & water are mortal enemies! My mind has been blown!
i tried and couldn't whip it into that thick and dense form :/
Remember you need to whip it in a cold recipient. So use a bow on top of ice, and if the bowl is made of some sort of metal it is even better (conducts the heat more effectively)
If i'm not wrong, pastry chef use water to cool the chocolate, they do not add water TO the chocolate, right ?
Please note that you can indeed (as stated by Herve This) change water with EVERYTHING you want which is basically water with aromas. Meaning cofee, tea, orange juice, banana juice, ect. Remember these liquid cold. And enjoy !
That's an awesome idea. You'd have to be careful since the friction would cause it to heat up and melt again but it should work quite well so long as you're careful
worked perfectly
If you add a little extra water and whisk until thick but still liquid you get the best frosty chocolate drink ever
Wow, he looks so young at that time.
Pastry chefs have been adding water to chocolate for ever to produce "piping chocolate".
