Yeah please use hot water or at the very least just put them over fire NOT TOO LONG or you could damage your spoon. If you only have a microwave heat up the water in it and heat up your spoons in the water. Also if your spoon has a wooden handle you won't burn your hands.
For those who are unaware, it’s the coating on the chocolate chips that will cause the recipe to fail. You’ll need to use a bar chocolate that you chop for a fail proof recipe every time. Or those larger baking pieces that have much less - no coating. Happy chocolate mousse making everyone!
The "bigger pieces" in the video are a "couverture" chocolate. Couverture chocolate has more cocoa butter than standard eating chocolate, which makes is melt quickly and smoothly, and get a lovely snap with a glossy surface after tempering. It's the type of chocolate used to make those crazy chocolate sculptures and the like. Chocolate chips are kind of the opposite of a couverture-type chocolate, since couverture is intended to melt smoothly, but chips are designed to hold their shape. To facilitate them holding shape, chips have less cocoa butter than standard eating chocolate, so they do not melt well.
I love that you include the trial and error parts in your videos. It actually helps so much especially when we all go through that and not enough videos out there share the reality of trying new recipes
Your joyful excitement when something comes together always makes me smile, but this time, even now as i write, it has me grinning from ear to ear. Aside from showing us how best to succeed with this recipe, you've warmed my heart with your exuberant spirit. Thanks muchly, peace & love from Montréal, Québec.
So happy you posted this! I had COVID in June and it pretty much ruined me financially. I could definitely afford to make this dessert, I’m so excited!
I know they say not to use an electric whisk because its easier to feel when to let it go. But im positive you could get it done with less effort and probably quicker with one set to low power. Nice video :)
I was thinking the same, but at the same time whisking by hand allows you to add more air than a machine does if it doesnt whip up. You could probably do both and switch off to give your wrist a break -
It was great of you to show the whole process! I wonder if it’s the lower amount of cocoa butter in the chips (so they retain their shape) vs the couverture premium chocolate causing it not to work. I believe it might have made it harder for the fat to crystallize in a way that allows it to stiffen. I also saw a video in which the recipe didn’t work for milk and white chocolate, and the chips you used contain milk solids, so I would consider that as well.
Absolutely love the enthusiasm when you got it to work the 3rd time! They say 3rd times a charm! This sounds amazing! Will definitely need to try this! Thank you again Emmy!
I just tried this with about half a cup of Lily’s sugar free dark chocolate chips and maybe 1/3C boiling water. A bunch of the chips had even bloomed from long storage. And by golly it WORKED beautifully in less than 5 minutes. Amazing!!!
@@drflash36 Yes! Make hot chocolate with all chocolate mistakes. I just finished a batch of oops-I-made-way-too-much-chocolate-frosting hot chocolate, and ooh this could be the beginning of a very bad habit..
While watching Emmy I suddenly thought of something that just seemed so obvious. The best collaboration ever could be Emmy and Tabitha Brown. I would die
I'm guessing it's the real and fake chocolate thing that differentiate the results here. Cause "fake chocolate" or "compound chocolate" don't contain coco butter like real chocolate does; it's not gonna set like real chocolate since there are actually no fat ingredients in there. Just check the ingredients on the package, if it has coco butter then it's definitely real chocolate.
I think it's the proportion of cocoa solids. Semisweet usually ranges from 40-50% cocoa and has a larger amount of milk. A 62% chocolate like she used usually has only cocoa solids and fat, with none or trace amounts of milk only, so it's a purer ingredient.
The chips she used do not contain substitute fats, but contain only 26% cocoa butter (compared to almost 40% in the Valrhona). This must make it harder for it to “set enough” so it can stiffen.
Considering how... er, different, American chocolate is to European in terms of cocoa solid content and sheer boatloads of sugar and bulking agents, yeah, small wonder the first few gos did not gel. Heston's recipe used European ingredients (well, ingredient!), small wonder cheap American chocolate didn't work.
@@Yaspis Ghirardelli is an Italian style chocolate yes they're an American company but not American style chocolate and they aren't cheap what so ever like $10 for the smallest count and $25 for 17 pieces on average.
Hello Emmy! I made this today, with 250g of 70% dark choc, and 150g water, which worked in almost exactly 10 mins. Thank you so much for showing us what works and what doesn't! :D
@@AtlasReburdened ita a valid question. So much of Emmy's channel is dedicated to hardship foods and affordability, it's impossible to imagine her wasting chocolate lol
This whole time I was just thinking look at Ann Readons recipe, look at her recipe. Hers is the most reliable in my experience (and the least work), she is an actual food scientist so it make sense. I love making mouse like this, it’s very rich, so I like using it as a small dollop on the side to tartes, cakes, berries or pies, a bit like I would use whip cream, but it’s chocolate. The best thing about it is that the chocolate flavour is so incredibly pure. It just taste intensely of the chocolate you use, and you get this fluffy velvety mouthfeel. It’s just chocolate and water, so it taste like the chocolate you use and nothing else, so use a nice chocolate you really like the taste of.
i love your videos!! i know i saw another comment like mine. but it really is true! most content creators don't show their fails or unsuccessful attempts and you do! it makes you so much more real and human and i love it! thank you!!! it shows anyone can do it! no matter what even if it takes a couple try's.. THAT OKAY! just go again! thank you for everything you do! thank you for being real and 100% authentically yourself
Not to sound weird 😅 but I seriously just love you! My boyfriend and I have so much fun watching you in our evenings, you’re the best & you make us both smile & laugh. You’re a light & a breath of fresh air in this world, and you’re so fun and creative. I hope you never stop being yourself, it’s such a blessing to get to see and enjoy it from so many miles away in Utah, thank you for all of your effort Emmy!!! ❤️
it depends on if it needs only mixing or if its relying on the air. Whisking by hand incorporates more air than a machine (the technique u do with ur hand is different) so its possible it might not work or take more time. BUt someone would have to try. -
Emmy thank you with this hard time we are living with right now I just had to I tell you how grateful I am to you. You are one of the bright sides of UA-cam and bring me so much joy.
mossattacks What on earth is pate au bombe? I’m French and have never heard this expression...literally bomb paste? I think chocolate mousse is traditionally chocolate and egg whites (and sugar if the chocolate is not sweetened enough).
Know what I appreciate about you Emmy? You lowered the volume on your video during your little happy scream. That was really thoughtful and very much appreciated. :D
My wife and I watched this video and decided we had to try this ourselves. Took us less than 10 minutes using 60% bar chocolate. Weighed it out to 8 oz and it worked perfectly using the whisk attachment for our hand mixer. We added some whipped cream on top which was a really nice counterpoint to the super dark chocolate flavor. Most mousse has something else in it to thin out the chocolate flavor a bit but this doesn't so it can be a bit much. The whipped cream really helps with that. One very small serving is all you need, or want in our case. Great technique and sooo easy.
Thats kind of annoying that they didn't specify what kind of chocolate in their recipe or at least what percentage it needed to be to work, definitely would of been good to know.
Hi Emmy! Thank you for continuing to create content! I discovered your channel a few years ago when I had to have eye surgery. The recovery included me laying facedown for two weeks. I stumbled on your channel during that time and your light and positivity really helped me to feel better and maintain a better mood and attitude. I’m so thankful to you! 💜
I can confirm that it does work with semi-sweet chocolate chips. But it can also not work like your batches. I've mixed a batch for an hour once. It later thickened in my fridge but only on top while the bottom remained as a normal liquid. Getting the right ratio is crucial. I use 9.35 ounces by weight of chocolate chips with 1 cup of water.
Hi Emmy! I've been a fan of your channel since I first watched your travel episodes in Japan. I just tried this 2 ingredient chocolate mousse recipe and I'm happy to report that, due to your mistakes and final success, I was able to achieve success on my first try! I didn't use a high quality chocolate as you did on your final attempt, but rather the regular President's Choice brand. I'm in Canada so I'm not sure if the U.S. has this brand, but it's similar to Hersey's. What did the trick were the amounts you suggested on the final attempt. Also I whisked in a "top to bottom" rotation similar to folding for about 5.5 minutes and then in a vigorous circular motion around the bowl after removing it from the ice bath. For those first 5 minutes I did see the mixture getting thicker and thicker, though more towards the consistency of a heavy cream. Then once I started the circular motion that's when it turned to a loose pudding consistency and then suddenly it solidified. It was just as you described, light and fluffy. Thanks!
This reminds me of my grandmothers mars bar sauce! We cut up some Mars bars (or any chocolate you want) add a teaspoon of water and put it into the microwave until it’s melted, super delicious!
i've tried and it worked guysss, i've half the recipe but i used dark compound chocolate with a pinch of instant coffee and a little bit of vanilla essence. I whipped the mixture over ice water for 2 minutes 30 seconds and continue whipped until thickened like the video. It took around 8 minutes. I used hand mixer.
This was the first recipe I ever made from this channel and it totally works! Even though I had no ice so had to use frozen spianch (still in the bag) and (very) cold water :) So delicious and fluffy. I recommend switching the bowls before cooling.
I just made this. Amazing! I didn't measure anything, just eyeballed it. Used Trader Joe's 70% chocolate. Added a drop of orange oil and vanilla. Didn't use ice. My arm is only slightly sore! Definitely good enough for company... If we ever can socialize again! BTW... You are adorable. Even my non-cook husband enjoys your videos!
I think you could have done with the "lesser quality" chocolate if you had used less water, I say this because I've used candy melts to make "water ganache"
@@Trund27 It worked well, all you need to do is add water little by little after melting the candy melts, at first it will seize, but if you keep adding (around 1 tbsp of) water a little at time and mix, it will depend on the humidity of where you are.
@Pink Salt From Google: " Candy melts are made to emulate white chocolate, which is then tinted. But they replace the more expensive cocoa butter, that is a key component of chocolate’s flavor, with vegetable oil. The ingredients of candy melts are sugar, milk solids (powdered milk), vegetable oils, flavorings and colors. Chocolate candy melts add cocoa powder, but still use vegetable oil. "
@Pink Salt You're most welcome. You can still do the water mousse and/or ganache if you use regular chocolate of your liking, just make sure to add the water little by little once it reaches the ganache texture you want, you can whip to thicken to a mousse
Omg I just done it today and it worked so well! But I used a 40% dark chocolate and it worked just fine!! Was so amazing and taste so good!! I like it a bit sweeter so for me it was perfect! Xoxo from Brazil - sao paulo
IT WORKS!!! Oh my God, Emmy, thank you so much for teaching us how to do it. I did today not believing it would work, but it actually worked. It's really unbelievable
oooohhhh i can't wait to try this! We did the candy you made with sugar, baking soda, and egg whites tonight. It was super fun :) My son just turned 13 and I love that he loves watching your unique recipes with me. He grew up watching Andrew's bizarre foods with me lol. I can't wait to try this two ingredient mousse. I absolutely love the science-y recipes the best, and so does he! I am homeschooling him this year so I am going to love incorporating he more science like recipes in our science lessons! It won't feel like a lesson :)
Your little happy dances make me so happy! I can't believe you weren't crying in pain from a full hour of whisking--I'm glad you gave yourself a break!
I love how you're not afraid to show the fails, too.
The failures make the triumphs all the sweeter. 👏🏼

Frrr

“For a smoother finish heat up the spoons”

They mixed cacao with water, not chocolate. They did not make chocolate; the Europeans did, by mixing it with sugar and eventually milk.

I truly love Heston. I live in the US and was watching Australia masterchef he has been on there tons of times. He’s so crazy in a good way
Mad genius!
How do you watch MasterChef Australia in the States? I’m an Aussie and I MISS that show. TT_TT
Multin24 just a guess, mane uses a VPN? Or torrents it

😂 I wonder if British people randomly break out in American accents like we do
Yes.
Example: John Barrowman
Example: David Caves
We do. Very often.
UA-camr Barry Lewis does relatively often
Also, it was an English accent, not British. There's 3 countries that make up Britain. 4 that make up the UK.
English person here. Yes. We do.

BTW... You are adorable. Even my non-cook husband enjoys your videos!
I think you could have done with the "lesser quality" chocolate if you had used less water, I say this because I've used candy melts to make "water ganache"
ginagaladriel Oooh! How did that turn out? Sounds like a good vegan alternative!
@@Trund27 It worked well, all you need to do is add water little by little after melting the candy melts, at first it will seize, but if you keep adding (around 1 tbsp of) water a little at time and mix, it will depend on the humidity of where you are.
@Pink Salt
From Google:
"
Candy melts are made to emulate white chocolate, which is then tinted. But they replace the more expensive cocoa butter, that is a key component of chocolate’s flavor, with vegetable oil. The ingredients of candy melts are sugar, milk solids (powdered milk), vegetable oils, flavorings and colors. Chocolate candy melts add cocoa powder, but still use vegetable oil.
"
@Pink Salt You're most welcome. You can still do the water mousse and/or ganache if you use regular chocolate of your liking, just make sure to add the water little by little once it reaches the ganache texture you want, you can whip to thicken to a mousse
@Pink Salt use Google and find out yourself. You're the one who decided going vegan was a good idea
Omg I just done it today and it worked so well! But I used a 40% dark chocolate and it worked just fine!! Was so amazing and taste so good!! I like it a bit sweeter so for me it was perfect! Xoxo from Brazil - sao paulo
When you said chocolate & water my face went :o and then you acknowledged that you are breaking the rules hahahaha
IT WORKS!!!
Oh my God, Emmy, thank you so much for teaching us how to do it. I did today not believing it would work, but it actually worked. It's really unbelievable
this is perfect. I was just craving some chocolate ;)
Quenelle I usually use 1 spoon. Push away, around and under. Done 😊
I will try this thank you 😊
Ooooh Dalgona mousse
Brilliantly done. Fun, funny, fresh and focused.
“Don’t forget to lick the spoon.” :P
Currently up with my son who is fevering on and off. Thank you for keeping my anxiety low Emmy and also thank you for being so dedicated
I hope your son is better today.
Science Fiction Double Feature thank you! We were able to go home today!
Chocolate chips have stabilizers in them to keep their shape when making cookies, so I wonder if that had an effect on the thickening up.
The lecithin should allow for a more emulsified mixture.
oooohhhh i can't wait to try this! We did the candy you made with sugar, baking soda, and egg whites tonight. It was super fun :) My son just turned 13 and I love that he loves watching your unique recipes with me. He grew up watching Andrew's bizarre foods with me lol. I can't wait to try this two ingredient mousse. I absolutely love the science-y recipes the best, and so does he! I am homeschooling him this year so I am going to love incorporating he more science like recipes in our science lessons! It won't feel like a lesson :)
The 70s montage music restored my hope
Dear Emmy. I love your videos. They bring me so much peace and calm when I’m feeling stressed. Keep ‘em coming!
;_; you are so cute, make my day 100% brighter!!
Your little happy dances make me so happy! I can't believe you weren't crying in pain from a full hour of whisking--I'm glad you gave yourself a break!
Hahaha omg I love how the thumbnail just looks like poop with a garnish
Sounds like something my son would say.... 😩
This might be fun(ny) to serve at a baby shower!
My same exact thought lol
I got such joy from your enthusiastic reaction when it started to solidify properly!
Beautiful recipe, thank you!
Your reaction after take three is priceless, all you needed to do was to spike a football after the score :-D
So stoked not to attempt Round 4. 😂

6:40 I notice Emmy hasn't mentioned her impeccably clean hands lately.
Well, if she's not STICKING THEM IN THE FOOD it doesn't really matter, does it?
@@annbrookens945 Well, due to the MAGIC OF EDITING we don't really know, do we?
I absolutely adore how excited you get when things work out !
