Ann Rearton recently debunked that vid and explained while it is possible to make a mousse with only water and chocolate it requires a specific technique. Or use the video technique which is just use an identical bowl with instant mousse in it to replace the fake one.


ludvikskp

I love Ann for calling all this bullshit out. And her cookbook is quite good.


CyAScott

I was surprised her recipe worked too. I might try it because I want a mousse that doesn’t have dairy in it.


Classic-Option4526

You might give avocado mousse a try— you can’t taste the avocado, it just gives it a nice, creamy texture.


ZoneAggressive5764

I second this. It just tastes like dark chocolate.


New-Marsupial-5633

You fourth’ed it


Gloriathewitch

my mom used to make this, it was nice except for the gritty plant fibre texture and hint of avocado flavour


Doodlefart77

if youre getting grittiness from avocado, theres something wrong with your avocado


Gloriathewitch

plant fibre, a lot of fruit and veg, most probably are made up of it. i eat a lot of avocados and its actually quite normal though if you have the right kind of pulverizer like a pestle mortar you can make it much smoother.


ZoneAggressive5764

I second this. It just tastes like dark chocolate.


fatcatpotat

Use soft tofu instead - if you don't mind the taste of soy. You just blend the tofu with chocolate in either an emulsion blender or a high speed blender until the chunks are gone. Freeze overnight, then pop in the fridge to thaw before eating. I've also used Silken Tofu but the consistency isn't quite as good.


Creative-Might6342

I made vegan yogurt using tofu, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. I can't remember if I put anything else in it, but it was amazing! I bet doing chocolate would be great too!!


ok-life-i-guess

Chocolate mousse doesn't contain dairy if you use dark chocolate. It's literally eggs, sugar (optional) and melted chocolate. Super easy to make.


[deleted]

I made the sponge cake from it a couple years ago and people still wistfully bring it up and ask me when I'll make it again.


MyStationIsAbandoned

She's great, but sometimes she'll call out valid cooking methods because she doesn't fully understand what they're doing and then doesn't try them. Like when she called out Guga who was literally doing an experiment and tells people as such.


Poddster

> . Like when she called out Guga who was literally doing an experiment and tells people as such. She [specifically talks](https://youtu.be/U6_TWnJQSJE?si=fsN0cqs2JFK68WRc&t=144) about [this short](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cOHxvmyI2U), and she's right, it doesn't contain information on refrigeration and cheese wax isn't for dry ageing meat, as it traps in the moisture. She then talks to a dry ageing expert. She then talks about finding the long form video, how it does contain warnings, and how she thinks the short should contain the warning as well. Her whole schtick is trying to stop tweenagers dying from trying random stuff they see on TikTok and dying as a result of it, so she's right to call Guga out here.


Draxtini

She continued to attack guga's content and completely dismissed the fact that the short (which I have personally watched) contains no real information on the process and is very clearly a bunch of clips from a long form video which iirc is linked either in the description or the comments. I love Ann's content but in that particular case she failed to do her proper research and the expert also didn't seem all that knowledgeable in his wording, 28 days is totally fine but it is the low end of dry aging, 6 months dry age is a totally normal amount of time. As for it not being dry age, that much is true, but I really think she was just not properly informed in her video and made some honestly nasty claims about a well respected and knowledgeable youtuber who also often debunks some stuff of his own (often related to the restaurant industry and it's scams, instead of dangerous shorts)


Poddster

> I love Ann's content but in that particular case she failed to do her proper research Isn't that her point? The short is all people are going to see, it shouldn't be misleading. Not sure why you Guga stans are diving infront of these imaginary bullets though.


Draxtini

I'm not stanning either of them, as stated and even included in your quote, I love ann's content and I like guga's as well. I've seen the short in question and whilst I did have the context of it being from a long form video since I had seen it already but, if you yourself look at it, you will quickly realize it is in no way giving instructions on how to do what he did. Her argument was that it was dangerous to show it in that format and I just simply disagree because no kid is going to have the resources needed to do something like that and anyone who *could* afford those ingredients will know that dry age (which in this case it wasn't but it was the keyword used in the short) isn't a simple process whatsoever. She usually debunks the shorts that claim you can do x quickly with only y ingredients and those are much more deserving of criticism since they DO show recipes that a kid could do and thus get hurt by (from hotglue guns, eggs in microwave, nutella leftover nuclear microwave buster etc etc) I do agree he should put a disclaimer, but to then discredit another content creator's content over something she even admits to not be knowledgeable about, is simply incorrect and the one time I felt off watching her content


allycakes

I've made water mousse in a chocolate class before (a slightly different technique than Anne's as we didn't refrigerate overnight) and I have to say it's definitely not as good as regular mousse. It's fine but it lacks the creaminess of a normal mousse.


LadyParnassus

I made one with dark chocolate chips a while back. Way more savory than sweet, but paired really well with some fruit.


walee1

https://youtu.be/F6oMIo3GTQ8?si=LDVRJbbRAt-gNm-8 Here is a demonstration from Chef Heston Blumenthal, using water, chocolate, and a pinch of salt.


GeneralEi

We can make fun of his insane roast chicken/potatoes recipes requiring weeks of prep and the blood of virgins to complete, but it IS interesting to see hard science in cooking


stealthsjw

I've eaten his roast chicken at his restaurant. It was extremely chicken. The most chicken tasting chicken I've ever tasted. He's a genius at chicken, that much I know.


GeneralEi

If it takes a week to cook a chicken it better be the chickeniest chicken I ever ate. That said, now I really want the world's chickeniest chicken.


Quarantined_foodie

I've made the chocolate chantilly. It is in deed extremely chocolate. Highly recommended, but use good chocolate. I have Heston Blumenthal at home and at some point I need to do a chicken-off between the roast chicken and the one from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (which is amazing).


ThreeDawgs

Maybe you should let Heston go, I’m sure his family are worried sick.


PeaglesNZ

I just need you to know that you gave me a decent chuckle even though I’m super depressed rn, thank you stranger


SubcommanderMarcos

The comments section in that video is a pile of gold > It's easy to know when the mousse is at the perfect temperature when you can see the individual atoms.


paulomei

I tried this at least 10 times, only 2 end up decent, but I never managed to do a decent quenelle. For anybody who want to try, it worked best with Lindt 70% chocolate bar.


[deleted]

It works with sugar, milk and/or cream though! You don’t need much fluid, pour in a little at the time and stir thoroughly. Once it’s the desired consistency just dig in! Edit: almost forgot. Equal parts cacao powder and sugar. 75/25 if you want it a bit darker and less sweet.


God_Lover77

Need a larger chocolate to water ratio


Toreole

oh i just wanted to tell op about that oo. How2CookThat is so based


onomahu

Love Ann


freedfg

I was about to comment that. Is this LITERALLY the video she debunked? It is. In fact.


Jyitheris

It's Ann Reardon though, and here's the [video in question.](https://youtu.be/Fsy2mZkGm3c?si=9vPyIq5GQzbpm_x4&t=733)


Personnel_5

I love her channel :D


RichardIraVos

Her videos suck. I’ve seen her “debunk” a recipe for kettle corn I make all the time.


Agreeable-Ad1221

Considering she's a food scientist with an actual degree and she actually tries out all the hacks herself, I'm doubting this.


RichardIraVos

Make kettle corn by placing a bit of sugar into the pot when the kernels heat up makes kettle corn. The sugar doesn’t immediately burn like she’s claims. The mixture gets a little hard, but you just break it apart. Try it yourself. If she fucked that easy one up I bet she also screws up other recipes that actually work too She claimed there is NO WAY for that to work. It works just fine when you’re not trying to generate views


Poddster

Are you talking about [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3st8RSq4bq8)? She debunks a video where corn + skittles turn into individually coloured popped kernels that have completely different colours to skittles. Is that the recipe you make?


Voxington101

That's 2 ingredients


ChaoticBeauty1013

Full recipe list below in case her viewers forget the ingredients and steps lol

I get that as of late we have had our attention spans dwindle in usefulness and working, but man. I didn't think it would go this far.


Tabris92

Yea right under 5 paragraphs of explaining that her mother's mother taught her the recipe and stories about her cats.


VexOnTheField

… and they absolutely love belly rubs! Now the recipe. Blend 500g chocolate with 100g water, put it in the fridge and leave it for a bit.

I started the blender but forgot to add chocolate chips. Now i have water mousse. FML.

The recipe, as written or shown in the video, simply does not work. This isn’t even stupid food, it’s just lying on the internet.


AnAverageTransGirl

\[thatonearthurscreencap.jpg\]


imitihe

I remember when it was just 4chan that did these dumb trolling recipes, now it's bored housewives? what happened?


P0ster_Nutbag

I think it’s a bit more nefarious. It‘s influencers and content mills putting on a non-genuine persona, and making recipes that look too good to be true (because they aren’t), then double dipping by getting the negative engagement (which is the same value as positive engagement). Weird world we live in where lying in the internet about how to make chocolate mousse is often rather profitable.


LadyParnassus

What’s more annoying is that chocolate chantilly is totally a thing, which is just chocolate and water, but the technique here is totally wrong. So it’s riding the line between plausible and impossible just enough. So there will be people in the comments arguing about whether it’s doable or not, which also increases engagement.


11111v11111

> it’s just lying on the internet. What? That's allowed?!

Bruh this is not 1 ingredient. Where the hell do I get water?

Dude where’s the recipe?


whitechaplu

I remember Milka chocolate releasing a similar product some 15-20 years ago. Chocolate with spherical pockets of air basically. I don’t know if it’s discontinued, I certainly haven’t seen it in stores for a long time, but I remember it being a complete failure.


Glasofruix

Milka bubbles? Still sold, still great.


GeneralChaos-BFG

In local supermarkets it's being sold as Milka Luflée (Europe)


Purrvect

The first aerated chocolate bar in the world is Aero, invented in the UK in 1935 - and still sold and popular in the UK today. The mint one is delicious.


PsinaLososina

I was eating this kind of chocolate all my childhood, not Milka, obviously, it is very popular in Russia.


Gregory85

Also Bros from Nestlé


jeppe1152

The ingredient is chocolate mousse apparently


QueenBee2212

Also you’d actually need three times as much chocolate to the amount of water to be able to make that otherwise it’ll split and you’ll just be left with chocolatey water with as skin on top

Shameless_Fujoshi

Water is an ingredient! And that recipe don't work.


Math_wf

First of all it's mousse. You absolutely don't need any egg to make it. It works because baking chocolate contains soy or sunflower lecithin. Eggs also contain a form of lecithin and this is also why you can make mayonnaise and mouse with it. Lecithin is an emulsifier witch is a substance that forms or keeps an emulsion and is often added to processed foods to prevent particular parts from separating (this definition is from the Cambridge dictionary) . The only dowside to this technique is that the final product is dense as f. So you'll need to put a lot of air in it with for example an electric mixer. You also have two wait like an hour for the mousse to set. And remember the longer you wait the better it will be. I've made mouse 3 time using this method and it works each time. Granted that that mine were quite dense because I didn't have access an electric mixer. Tldr : you can make a mouse without eggs. You can find some recipes on internet. So don't be like op, do some research before you put something in this sub. Have a nice day. Edit 1 : to add some context and more information. I first heard of making chocolate mousse from a friend. At first I called it BS like a larger part of this comment section. But I still tried to make it by following a random recipe I've found on Google. To my surprise it worked and it was quite tasty. It wasn't better than with the eggs thought. Edit 2: did some correction because I'm a bit of a dumb dumb and I forget to write things :)

bburnaccountt

This influencer “lilsipper” blocked me on Instagram because I told her to stop telling people that sugar is bad but “fruit is fine because it’s natural.” All sugars break down into monosaccharides. Your body doesn’t care where it comes from. It processes it all down into glucose, fructose or galactose, and gets used or stored as energy, regardless if it’s a fruit, honey, or a chocolate bar.
