Mousses for patisserie and desserts
Callebaut presents a new range of ready-to-use Dark, Milk and White Chocolate Mousses! Rich in Callebaut chocolate, their taste and texture are beyond any comparison: true and authentic, just like home made desserts! And imagine the gain of time they can offer you! Wouldn't it be perfect?
* Patisserie usually calls for a (chocolate) mousse with a
prominent taste and a smooth, firm texture. The taste of even the
thinnest layer of mousse must come through perfectly among the
other components of a pastry. The best results are achieved with a
cold-whipped pâte à bombe as the foundation (boil sugar syrup, pour
over egg-yolks and beat cold to a white foam). You may then adjust
the flavour with a selected chocolate, and finish with semi-whipped
cream.
* For desserts on the other hand, an airy mousse based on egg white
and beaten whipping cream is the usual option. These mousses are
easier to handle (for example when forming 'scoops') and provide a
light conclusion to a menu of several courses.
* Mousses based on white chocolate merit a special note: adding a
little cream, work the white chocolate up into a ganache. Only then
should you mix with the pâte à bombe (or beaten egg-white) and
whipped cream. This method produces a mousse with a smooth
homogenous texture that stiffens easily.
1. Chocolate
The Callebaut range offers a diverse assortment of chocolates for
the preparation of a varied palette of mousses, from bitter and
semi-bitter to sweet and creamy in dark, milk and white. Every
classic chocolate in the standard viscosity (
)
is suitable. We advise a comparison of a range of different
chocolates, taking account of your taste preferences and the other
flavours in your recipe. It's a question of achieving a balanced
and harmonious end result.
2. Something more adventurous
If you aim to produce mousses with a unique taste profile you can
give your creativity free rein with our flavoured chocolates
(honey, cappuccino or caramel) and coloured and flavoured coatings
(strawberry, orange or lemon). Mousses can also be flavoured with
gianduja chocolates and nut pastes (with hazelnut or almond).
