Chocolate mousse on Siphon?

Hi All,

I just got a brand new siphon, of course I’m not going to do only Chantilly, I would like to know if anyone got a recipe for a chocolate mousse using the siphon. I’m doing some tests, creating some ganaches (more liquid, with more heavy cream for instance), or “traditional” with whites, but I’m uncomfortable o trying and I would like to ask for your help on this :-)

iSi has some mousse recipes on their website.

The cool thing is that if you're using a chocolate with enough fat, you don't even need to use cream at all. You can experiment with melting chocolate in coffee and making a mousse out of that, or white chocolate and raspberry juice, chocolate and coffee and banana puree. The possibilities are fairly endless. Honestly, I'd just go crazy with experimenting. If you have a significant other, or someone you'd like to be a significant other, this would be a fun activity to do with her/him.

Thanks for the tips :-) I love to experiment, I've tried some combinations, so far I had trouble with consistency, I lost one nitrogen cart with a combination chocolate + cream that was too thick, and I got it from isi :-) Anyway the fun was to learn, and your tips were very nice thanks :-) and yes, it is for the loved one, but she likes to eat and being on the kitchen while I do but she says she's a disaster on the kitchen :-)

Sorry for take too much of your time, but about melt the chocolate on coffee and mousse it, do you wait it to cool a bit, rest on the fridge? And lets say a 70% cocoa bar, whats the proportion of coffee and chocolate for that? :-) Thanks in advance :-)

I'd let it cool, but it doesn't need to be cold or anything. And I have no idea about proportions. If I were you, I'd just base it on balancing the flavors and seeing what happens. It's not like it'll turn out gross or anything, it just might not be the texture you want. And then you try again. It'll give you a much better intuitive understanding of how to do it.

You probably shaked the syphon too much after putting the cartridge. It's quite stable in the syphon but you don't really need to shake it more. It will become thicker if you do it too much.

Yeah, I think I'll take easy on the shake, first week with it a lot to learn. Once again many thanks :-) You'll see the results very soon on my instagram account and here :-)
