Let the whipping siphon do all the heavy lifting in this simple recipe for home made chocolate mousse topped with spherified caviar. Serve as a light dessert for a weeknight dinner or refreshing course at any dinner party.

Ingredients

  • 2 Sheets Silver PerfectaGel Gelatin
  • 300g (10.75 ounces) White Chocolate, Chopped
  • 200 ml (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) Whole Milk
  • 500 ml (2 cups) Heavy Cream
  • Christine le Tennier Raspberry Caviar

Equipment

  • 1Qt Whipping Siphon
  • 2 N2O Chargers
  • Funnel and Sieve
  • Caviar Spoon

Timing

Active Time: 35 Minutes

Total Time: 1 Hour 35 Minutes

Yield

10 Servings

  • Bloom Gelatin

    Soak the sheet gelatin in a bowl of cold water for 10 – 15 minutes to bloom.

  • Melt Chocolate

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil.

    Turn off the burner and place the white chocolate in a metal or glass bowl. Place bowl on top of the open pot (this is called a bain-marie or double boiler).

    Important: Make sure the bowl is dry and no water is present, or it will seize the chocolate and not allow it to melt.

    Stir mixture until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside.

  • Simmer Milk, Add Gelatin

    In another small saucepan, bring milk to a simmer and remove from heat.

    Remove the sheet gelatin from water. Squeeze out any excess water and add the sheets to the scalded milk. Whisk for one minute.

  • Add Chocolate and Heavy Cream

    Combine the melted chocolate and milk mixture, whisk together, and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until cool, but not set.

    Add the heavy cream into the chilled mousse base and whisk until combined.

  • Charge in Whipping Siphon

    Pour the mousse base into 1 Qt. whipping siphon and charge with two N20 cartridges.

    Place the siphon in refrigerator and allow mousse to chill for at least one hour.

  • Serve

    Best served on a chilled serving plate.

    Dispense a small amount of white chocolate mousse on the plate.

    Immediately after, using a caviar spoon gather a spoonful of raspberry spheres.

    Drain any excess liquid and gently place over the mousse, serve immediately
