Tale of Two Mousses


Was brainstorming for an on the spot photo shoot and was running outta ideas ...Standing at the pickup station at one of our restaurants ,was hit on my sleeve by one of our signature desserts VERTIGO . The 4 layered mousse cake smeared my sleeves but whilst wiping out the mousse thought of a quick simple mousse idea.

Serves : 4 Prep time : 40 min setting time : 1 hr
Ingredients :
Dark chocolate : 100 gms
White chocolate : 100 gms Cooking Cream : 100 ml
Whipped cream : 200 ml.

Method :
Melt the dark and white chocolates in the microwave separately . to that add 50 ml cooking cream in the Dark and the rest 50 ml in the white chocolate. Stir continuously on a slow flame till you reach a thick Ganache consistency . Whip the cream till soft peaks . Add a quarter of it into the dark ganache and quarter in the white ganache . pour these mixtures into 2 separate piping bags . Pour the remaining whipped cream into another piping bag .
Now pipe the white chocolate ganache into the base of a shot glass. Over it pipe the dark chocolate ganache . Pipe the whipped cream over the ganaches . Refrigerate the glasses till serving time . To serve crush ice and place it into a wine glass. Place the shot glass into crushed ice in a wine glass and garnish as desired.
