i love this! it works! really you gotta try this. but you only can use high percentage dark chocolates. Milk chocolate….i think it doesn’t work. it tastes PURE CHOCOLATE-Y flacour. no cream no other stuff. I think this is quite healthy because of the antioxidant of the chocolate
It`s work. You must using a high cocoa percentage chocolate. I used 70% dark chocolate in proportions from describe of the film.
this reciepe is a sham it does NOT work!
I have tried this five times and yet it still doesn’t work!
how much water to choc do you use? and can you use milk chocolate?
Yes, but he is using a chocolate with a high cocoa percentage.
As you get closer to white (via milk), the addition of cream - and eventually of butter - will complement the chocolate.
@p3rs0nan0ngrata because he says in the video that cream ruins the purity of the chocolate.
does this actually work??
this just in your mum sucks pigs penises hence the outbreak
Why would you do chocolate and water if you want milk chocolate?
Use 70% and cream, or add a pinch of coffee powder to your milk choc and water mix
Using bitter chocolate results in surprise surprise a bitter mousse. Using milk chocolate is YUMMY!!!
this is almost exactly like a whipped ganache which is equal parts heavy cream and chocolate. He used water and called it a mousse, but it’s still really cool cause I didn’t know it would work!
This was amazing. I tried this the other day and i was speechless and angry. I wish i new this when i was working at a restaurant where i made so much mousse. The only problem to this is, depending on the chocolate you use it can be really strong.
this just in fat duck is serving pig feces in some of their dishes, hence the out break
big ginger eyebrows muahahaa
i loled :)))
1:21 = Sex Face :D
That is fail my friend, try to use a 4/5 ratio of water:chocolate
I just did this with 100g of milk choclate and a dl of water. It was way to sweet. Next time im going to use half 70% and half milk choclate.
lol trial and error and notes! notes based on amounts, brands and cocoa content
Yes, but be careful to check regular, or it overwhisks and go’s very dry and…. well urgh.
can ya use an electric whisk?
lmao
You can get the mousse without the ice…but you still have to wait for the cocoa crystals to form…and ice makes it a lot faster :P
Time has its tricks :P
i was whisking it for 45 minutes and i realized that i forgot the ice part :(
