Cream mousse from chocolate and water
You've probably at least heard the name Herve Tisa. This is one of my culinary idols! The French scientist-chemist which is all its knowledge was sent to the field of gastronomy and first introduced in the use of the term "molecular cuisine", trying to find a scientific explanation for the taste of food that is wonderfully it worked. He owns a number of revolutionary inventions. For example, the Tis identified that if to egg protein in strictly certain proportion, add water, while whisking it turns out the foam is unbelievable. Thus, in the eyes of the astonished audience of one egg, he was able to prepare 20 liters of mayonnaise! As a rule, Mr Yew reveals most of its secrets, but some still divided. One of such inventions I want to tell you today. Herve himself called this cream mousse analogue of Chantilly, the only difference is that it is made only of chocolate and water. Hard to believe, but it's worth a try and you will see that there is no fraud. Only science!

Ingredients

  • Ice

    400 g

  • Water

    178 ml

  • Dark chocolate

    200 g

Cooking

step-0
We need two deep dishes (cups or pots). One big, the other small and definitely fireproof. Little should easily fit into a large.
step-1
In a small saucepan put the broken chocolate bar.
step-2
Now it is very important to calculate the required amount of water. Remember proportion: 1 g of chocolate required 0,89 ml. of water. Use accurate scales to check this ratio. For example, in this case, 200 g of chocolate take 178 ml. of water.
step-3
Add the calculated amount of water to chocolate.
step-4
Put the saucepan on the stove and heated on low heat. Nothing should boil and slowly melt. Turn off the heat once the chocolate is completely dissolved and leave on a hot plate, so the chocolate mass is in any case not cold.
step-5
In big dish, pour very cold water and throw it in the ice.
step-6
The saucepan with hot chocolate drop in a bowl of ice.
step-7
And start whipping the chocolate mass with a mixer, gradually increasing speed. The first time the mass will remain fluid, except for air bubbles no visible changes you will notice.
step-8
After 5-7 minutes the chocolate very rapidly begins to thicken.
step-9
And in a minute you'll acquire the consistency of "toothpaste". This means that the mousse is ready.
step-10
You can continue to beat for a while, then the mass thickens stronger, and the mousse will be more dense but just as soft and delicious.
step-11
Ready cream mousse can be served as a separate dessert.
step-12
Or, for example, as a complement to ice cream.
