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.

  • While watching the vid, press 7 for two seconds then 9.

  • If you guys try this the recipe in the description is off. The ratio is closer 1:3 (water:chocolate). Also you can't let this sit at room temperature. The warmth will make it too soft.

  • Just tried this. It wasn't coming together. So I just drank it. Ha

  • Just did this and it did not come out right :(

  • The ratio depends entirely on the cocoa content of the chocolate. So you could do more water than chocolate, if its really dark chocolate. Recipe adjusts to the cocoa fat %, basically.

  • @kimosabesun

    XD

  • I make this with 100ml of water and 117g of chocolate and it works perfectly every time

  • he's got hair!

  • I tried with 1:3 and it worked, but it yielded a small cup of mousse out of a whole bar...so I'm thinking maybe more water next time :)

    Hey, and I used white choc too! (in case some of you are hesitating whether to try it :P)

  • 3 people are dumb shits!

  • @121990b cafefernando(dot)com/the-best-­chocolate-mousse-of-your-life-­under-5-minutes/ check that blog entry, it has a written recipe and instructions for this technique.

  • THE MOUSE IS A LIE !

    no seriously, just lost 3 packs of chocolate :(

    some things are better left for the chef's.
