I love that they bring on a guy known for crazy complex chemistry and for making a dish called "Meat Fruit", and have him whisk together chocolate and water for four minutes.
Love Heston, I’ve tried a couple of his recipes and long live Master Chef Australia. It’s great to see people in a competitive setting being nice to each other unlike many reality shows 👏🏽😁
Just tried this recipe with the adjusted water amount (275ml), using Albert Adria's madagascar vanilla chocolate (70%) and a lot of faith. Yielded an awesome, watery ganache/mousse! Topped with raspberrys. Worth trying.
The other guy looks as Heston first boils water and then put bowl into ice water : "so you basically heat it up first and cool it down later?" What a bright lad, who would have thought of that. So smart....
I just tried this and it actually works and tastes very good, especially if you add the salt. You can adjust the ratio of the 2 ingredients down and it will still turn out great!
I have always been told that chocolate and water were meant to be mortal enemy and here they casually dumped water into the chocolate and mix it. *I have been lied to all my life*
Not really. Too little water and it'll just be a grainy mess. Too much and it will not thicken. Not hot enough to properly melt all of the chocolate, grainy mess. Water and chocolate doesn't mix well or easy. He is able to do it because he's done a lot of trial and error finding the right ratio and method.
So, Heston has another youtube video with this exact same recipe/technique, however, he calls for 270ml of water in that recipe vs. 425g of water in this video/recipe. 270ml of water works WAY better than 425g in my experience of testing both.
the amount of water in this video is plainly wrong. it's 1 part chocolate to 3/4th parts of water. So if you have 350 grams chocolate, you take 350 times 3/4 (75%) = 262g water (round it up to 270 because evaporation and stuff)
@@diht who says that? its not just water, its any liquid containing mostly water which includes the classic... cream. A small amount of cream in a large quantity of chocolate is bad for it, just like water --it can thicken the chocolate and adding a little more cream would make it seize completely ... which would ruin the chocolate for specific uses HOWEVER if you continue to add more cream eventually it will thin out again and can then be used as a base for mousse or a general chocolate emulsion as a base for other things. So, small amounts of moisture in chocolate is generally considered bad, but larger amounts are good. since seized chocolate has limited uses.
Heston continues to prove a mix of complexity and simplicity is the key to culinary advancement. Btw an insane flavour upgrade for this would be to out Sichuan peppercorns and dried tangerine peel in the water and letting steep. It works like god's own ambrosia with chocolate
I have never been more mind blown ... chocolate mousse is not just two ingredients as it normally has more than just two.its all technique and method..wow..loved it
It's super-easy, but since there is nothing to moderate the flavor, you have to have the absolute best chocolate you can get (after lots of testing, I like Cacao Barry, lighter Valrhona, and Michel Cluizel). So it's pretty pricey unless you buy couverture in say, 10kg batches. That, by the way, is the minimal morally justifiable quantity. :)

I've said it before, Heston lives in his own world and does crazy things nobody else will ever try to do again. BUT... Heston also masters the impossible and shows anybody can do it, time and again. This is one such example ... I just love'd the simplicity and see before me, as he mentioned, how to add lots of flavors to the mousse. What I am uncertain of is what "chocolate" Heston used in the first place? Cheap baking chocolate blocks? Highest possible quality chocolate? I am confused at that point.
I've looked through many of the comments, and can't find the kind of chocolate used. Obviously dark - but is there a brand and % I should get? I can get Guittard locally, but Valrhonna I have to mail order. Thanks.
350 grams chocolate 425 grams water -Simmer water, pour over chocolate. -Whisk until combined then place on ice bain marie while continuing to whisk. You will whisk pretty much non-stop until it is done. -will start to thicken -when reaches the mousse stage it is done -eat or chill It is a tricky emulsion created under a specific combination of temperature and mechanical energy.
How many times would he have failed to come up with this. His genius does not arrive from natural talent, but simply exercising his brain to the maximum extent possible without minding constant failure. That's the difference between greats and legends.
I did this step by step with mill chocolate, it wouldn't thicken and set... would it only work with dark chocolate and is there anyway to save the one I have now
Look at all those happy and bright faces, excited and ready to watch one of the greatest chefs to ever live make one of his incredible dishes, ready to take notes, eager to learn. Heston: Water. Everyone Else: :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So can this be done with any chocolate or was there special ingredients in the chocolate or what not, that allowed it to thicken like that, just from water?

The key to this recipe is to focus the sun's rays through Heston's glasses to melt the chocolate. The water was just a diversion.
