Chocolate is NEVER O/T

I wonder what would happen if you put the chocolate in a food processor and turned it on and poured the eggs into it? Anyway, professional chefs have help. One restaurant I worked at had the dishwasher pour the butter into the bowl while the chef stirred to make hollondaise. Perhaps that's the way to do this mousse: with help.

I think it should probably work, the problem is keeping the mixture hot enough for long enough to kill potential salmonella, that's why they do it while the bowl is on top of the boiling water... For "home use" I think it should work though, as long as you don't keep left over mousse you made on Tuesday "for the weekend" ;-)

I'm just thinking though: Maybe you could use an electric wisk thingy, I can't remember the english term and it's not in my dictionary.. Electric blender? Handheld electric... thingy! You know, what you use to make whipped cream if you don't have a food processor, gosh I hate it when I can't remember a word... Anyway, if you use a small pot and a high heatproof bowl you might not end up with hot chocolatey egg goop all over your kitchen ;-)

Now I have to go and look for that recipe, I know I saw it just a few days ago...

Any shipments of chocolate will be *more* than gladly accepted (provided there's no mint included!)!!!! But, yes, to get chocolate here in its original condition it would be better to ship it between Oct. & Mar. & possibly April. Even though I live in ND we still get temps in the 90s fairly frequently and 100s occasionally!

Send away! :)))))

Oh no, my favourite - must nip down to Thornton`s and stock up for the weekend - I just ate my last piece!

Why don`t we all start talking about it and persuade someone on here to organise a chocolate swap/round robin?

Pat P

Perhaps you're thinking of an electric egg beater, a/k/a electric mixer?

I think I`ll just go and buy one from Marks and Sparks!!! In fact I have one in the fridge right now! Yum!

Pat P

I don't know! I think I have a way to figure it out! I'll get back to you!

RESEARCH PROMISING FOR CHOCOLATE LOVERS

It's not exactly a guilt-free pleasure, but food researchers say cocoa beans could be good for you. The health potential is real. Cocoa beans have natural compounds called flavanols, and a growing pile of scientific research suggests they do good things to blood vessels. ..

I really hope you're talking about the bisquits, the cream cheese or the electrix mixer thingy and not the toddler ;-)

I did find the recipe here:

No, the mousse!!! LOL! Much as I like toddlers, I couldn`t eat a whole one!

Pat P

Ooooh, oooh, me, meeeeee! I'll take Joan's unwanted mints.

I hear they keep for a few days in the fridge.

Elizabeth

Or until they eat everything *else* in the fridge! ;-)

-- Carey(couldn't resist....)

Goodness...that sounds like child abuse! ;)

Mavia

I keep telling Seanette I love children ... boiled, with ketchup. :)

Best place for them - most of the time! ;-))

Pat P

I`m inclined to agree - I`m not a "baby" person, although I loved my own. I`m not one of those who drools every baby or toddler you see. I like them when they get old enough to hold a reasonable conversation.

Pat P

Nah, abuse would be leaving a perfectly good toddler to rot on the kitchen counter.
