BLack Garlic Choco Mousse

INGREDIENTS

100g dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), broken down to small pieces
100g semi-sweet chocolate, broken down to small pieces
1 tablespoon of strong brewed coffee (you can use instant coffee if you like)
10 HITARA Black Garlic cloves (about 20g) mashed into a smooth black garlic paste
2 tablespoon of light brown sugar (use 2 if you want it really sweet)
100ml whipping cream
4 whole eggs, egg yolks cleanly separated from the egg whites
1 tablespoons of brandy
1 tablespoon of white caster sugar
Small pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, melt together chocolate, coffee, black garlic and brown sugar. Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
Set aside for later.Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice-cold water and set aside. You’ll need it to prevent your egg yolks from cooking.
In another medium bowl set over barely simmering water, whisk the yolks with brandy until mixture becomes as thick as a runny mayonnaise and very pale.
Switch the heat off and place the bowl with the whipped egg yolks inside the bowl with ice water. This will help to cool the whipped egg yolks down as you continue to beat them. Continue beating until at room temperature and thick.
Remove the egg yolk bowl from the bowl with ice water (you will not need the ice water any more). Fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped egg yolks and set aside.In the bowl you melted the chocolate in, beat whipping cream until light, frothy and until it holds itself comfortably, but is not completely stiff.
Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and egg yolk mixture until just combined.
In another clean medium bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until frothy. Continue to beat and when they start to hold their shape whip in 1 tablespoon of caster sugar.
Continue to beat until egg whites become thick and have a satin shine to it. Don’t over-beat until completely stiff or you’ll find it difficult to fold into the egg yolk and chocolate mixture.Using a wide and long spatula, fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remainder of the whites just until incorporated.
Don’t over-fold or you’ll loose all the airiness and some of the volume.

Divide your mousse into 6 - 8 serving dishes.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the mouse firms up before serving.

NOTES

Serve it as it is, with some chocolate shavings or a very light dusting of cocoa powder and a few fresh blueberries and a few, small mint leaves.

As a variation, try replacing brandy with other liquor, like Calvados or smoky whisky or similar.

This mousse will keep for up to 4 days refrigerated

WHAT IS BLACK GARLIC

What Is Black Garlic and How Is It Used? Black garlic is fresh, white garlic that has been aged by warming the garlic bulbs at about 140˚ to 190˚ F in high humidity for an extended period of time (often a month or more) until the cloves become tender and black in color. Some black garlic is also aged through yeast-fermentation under the same conditions. During the aging process the cloves undergo  the Maillard reaction  as the heat creates changes in the amino acids and sugars in the garlic. This reaction is what gives black garlic its rich, tangy, molasses-like flavor and black color. (One common myth about black garlic is that it’s fermented; it is  not.  By definition, fermentation is a chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or microorganisms, and it is a process often used in the production of foods like sauerkraut and beer. In contrast, the changes in the color and flavor that occur in white garlic in order to make black garlic are all due to the...
