The Chocolate Mousse I made for The Queen at Balmoral Castle!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- The Queen is at Balmoral Castle. She loves it there! So do her staff. It's a nerve racking time for her chefs though. Will dinner be in (at the castle) or out (BBQ in the hills on the estate) ? We had to be be prepared for both... at a moments notice!
Here's the most delicious chocolate mousse I made for The Queen (both at Balmoral and banquets at Buckingham Palace) that you will ever taste. Light, fluffy, not too sweet and easy to make!
I am using Mason Cash mixing bowls in this video. I love them. We used to use them at the Palace all the time and even travel them to Balmoral and Sandringham. They look so pretty on the shelf, but are amazing to use in the kitchen. I feel like Mrs. Patmore on Downton Abbey every time i use them. Check them out here.... www.everythingkitchens.com/ma...

Here's the recipe...
Drambuie Chocolate Mousse.
6 ounces Dark Chocolate.
10 fl oz Heavy Cream.
5 egg yolks.
5 egg whites.
1 tsp Instant Coffee.
2 tbs Glenfiddich Whisky or Drambuie (that I use in the video) or any good whiskey
1 tbs boiling water.
Melt the chocolate taking care not to overheat it in a large
bowl. Put the coffee in a small bowl and dissolve in the boiling water.
Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate and then add the dissolved
coffee and the whisky and mix well.
Whip the cream until stiff and peaks hold.
Whip the egg whites until stiff and the peaks hold.
Fold the cream with a metal spoon into the chocolate mixture
followed by the whipped egg whites.
Keep folding until there are no white specks of cream or egg white
and then pour into a decorative serving dish.
Put the mousse into the refrigerator for at least three hours to allow
the chocolate to set.
The top can now be decorated with rosettes of whipped cream and
chocolate curls for table presentation.
This mixture makes enough for about 8 portions of dessert

Ohh Darren you’re the perfect blend of both worlds. Calm and soothing storyteller and fun goofball❤️
Damm your Profile picture is nice
Agreed!!!
Wonder why no one is talking about Winston donning a glittering crown. It is absolutely elegant.
It’s official...I’m obsessed with this dude.
Me too...he is amazing....
Take a number! LOL.
There is nothing I don't love about this channel, but the little Winston bits really give it the edge and get me every time
I love the dance! That mousse looks absolutely delicious!!
You're videos always make me happy ☺ I don't know how many times I've watched everyone of them. 😊 They keep me company in this very weird time. I feel like you're family, or a favorite neighbor. Keep safe and healthy.
aww, thank you Cooper
I agree Cooper. I love the Chef's videos. Thank you for sharing your memories and recipes with us. I'm across the pond and enjoy them very much. Sincerely, Stacey Storck
Heartily agreed. Your comment of Darren McGrady is perfect and could not have been said better.
My grandpa would have loved this mousse!
I just tasted your sticky toffee pudding recipe and it is heaven. I've never had anything like it. It took us awhile to source the muscovado sugar but it was all worth it in the end. I'm also a proud owner of a mason pudding bowl which I love. Thank you for sharing amazing British eats. The Queen has great taste!
Tiffany, can you tell me where you found Mr. McGrady's sticky toffee pudding? I don't see it among his videos.
@@shikhar3281 Aha! Thanks!
Muscovado sugar makes heaven cookies.
If more people were like you the world would be a wonderful one.
Glad to see you also using the great new Sistema Brilliance plastic container, made here in New Zealand. The guys at Sistema would have a fit hearing you call it Tupperware though. Ps. I will be making that chocolate mousse for sure.
Winston is a puppy of many talents.
Darren, everything you say about Scotland is 100% true, it’s the most amazing country to explore, especially between June and September.
I am a huge fan of your channel, your recipes and many stories are inspiring and enjoyable.
Take care and best regards,
Rob.
You are my new favorite British cook. You make everything look delicious and simple. you have a great since of humor.
Love it. Raw eggs and no fear of food poisoning.
Love the dancing!! Don't ever stop being adorable - and the chocolate mousse looks yummy too! :)
Thank you Chef for this marvelous recipe. I have whisky, chocolat AND cream..so i will try it. I would say that this mousse could be a nice filling for some " french beignets" and crêpes" .
I just came back from Scotland, I wish I would’ve visited the castle. It looks like such a beautiful place to visit. Scotland is gorgeous everywhere ♥️♥️ love it
Even though the Windsor’s might not have eaten certain Downton foods, I’d like to see you make a Downton dinner menu. People just don’t spend time at the table anymore, and it would be nice to revive this tradition.
Hello ,where can I find the recipe ?
I love how Winston played the bagpipes, keep the videos coming!!
This guy is a natural skilled cook/chef. He reminds me of my dad so much. Anything he makes is the best version of whatever he’s cooking you’ll ever eat.
My mouth and eyes are watering. My mouth over the mousse and my eyes over your dance-hilarious! Thanks for that.
I have one of those bowls. It used to be my mother's. She used to make the Christmas cakes and puddings in it when I was young. The bowl has to be at least 50 years old.
You can still buy them
@@katemorgan8551 hes using a mason cash brand. I have a few and i love them. I also go to antique shops to buy vintage bowls
It is from Mason Cash brand
The videos about royal desserts are the ones I enjoy the most :) With all the stories and of course, lots of whip cream. Keep up the good work!
Love your videos and you sharing your experiences while in the employ of the Queen. You share the marvel of how grand all of the produce and livestock’s are there; how beautiful the gardens, savory and sweet. Well...... I could have those luxurious gardens and property as well if I were the Queen and money was no object to have the best of the best gardeners and farmers and products in the country. Please keep sharing your videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Me and the chaps love to watch your videos while having afternoon tea. You are simply delightful. Much love, from Mississippi.
Best storyteller by far. Thank you for humanizing the Royal Family for me 🇬🇧 🇺🇸❤️✌️🙏 👑
And I’ll be trying these recipes😋😋
I get such a smile on my face whenever I watch you cooking and the stories. Thank you.
aww, thanks Chris
You are an Amazing chef.x💕🏴
aww, thank you Catherine. Glad you enjoy the vids
Love the recipe and how grounded and entertaining you are. What a blessing you have had and then to openly share it with the world. Thank you.
Childhood memories of having my fingers in Mason Cash bowls! Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks Darren.
Love love love your videos the history and the memories you have with the royal family cooking for them god bless
Never knew mousse involved raw eggs! Wow, glad they're all nice and copasetic!
I'm drooling... I love chocolate mousse! One of my favorite things. I rarely get to have it.
I love this guy and the channel. And you know he is at the top of his craft because I'm sure you don't get to be one of the royal chefs unless you know cooking at a high level.

@Darren McGrady Loved your video about making chocolate mousse. And your dancing. And your royal stories. Am not a monarchist but conversely have always been fascinated by the British Royal Family and indeed all things British.

My Dad who was a very good cook use to make me different mousses. It looks delicious. Thank-you
Lovely video as always
My grandmother had those bowls, it was a wedding gift, she got married in the 1930s, sadly they were lost over time, but I do have fond memories of watching her bake with them!

Chef 2 at the same time your preparation must be spot on.
I’ve got those bowls too. They were my grandmother’s and possibly date back to HER mom. They are at least from about 1920 if not earlier and not a chip. I love using them too. Nothing compares. Thanks for the brilliant videos. I love watching and hearing your stories
That mousse looks absolutely amazing , definitely gonna give it a go!
Yum! Looks delicious!
Beautiful and elegant! And the chocolate mousse is splendid too. Here in the states, we serve whiskey for the men and beer for the horses.
Go Darren. Good Dancer.
Food looks Yummy 😋
My god that mousse looks soooooo good
Mmm..got to try it….love Winston

Another special. Thanks for the video.

Looks amazing! I want to get your book "Eating Royally!"
Winston is very multitalented! :)
Yum -- I can't wait to make it/taste it. Guess I'll have to get a mixer.
I'm so excited to find this channel. I adore HM and have wondered what was on the royal menu. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Dancing and chocolate! You make me happy!
