Cocoa, Sugar & Oil can make Tiramisu Style Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake using Hervé This methods

Jan. 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Dr. Peter Achutha has been experimenting with molecular gastronomy techniques created by the renowned Dr. Hervé This. He has easily made a Tiramisu style chocolate mousse and cream cheesecake using these techniques as shown at http://bachutha.com/how-to-make-tiramisu-chocolate-mousse-cheesecake-part-3 . While experimenting with just cooking oil, cocoa powder and sugar, without any water, he discovered that the chocolate mousse could be made. The final accidental recipe uses soft butter and whipping cream to make a delicious chocolate mousse. It takes less than 30 minutes to make a 3 or 4 layered Tiramisu style chocolate cream mousse cheesecake from cocoa powder, sugar, butter, cocoa butter, whipping cream and vanilla. There is no need to use expensive chocolates to make the chocolate mousse.

"It is truly simple and easy and you can prepare it up to a week before you plan to serve it. Furthermore it does not melt like ice cream does when it is kept out of the refrigerator for long.” says Dr. Peter Achutha, "Anyone can create exotic chocolates and chocolate mousses with Hervé This methods if you have a blender. This version is vanilla flavoured." He adds that "The accidental recipes with photos are posted on his website free for all to learn and make." He wonders if there is any potential commercial spin offs for cocoa, sugar and oil blends.


Dr. Peter Achutha has found that cooking oil, cocoa powder and sugar is sufficient to make chocolate mousse. He says "If you use oil based flavorings, this is a sufficient recipe for chocolate mousse but when you add water and water based flavorings or drinks you could get interesting results. The more flavorful your ingredients are the better the end results. Hence it is better to use good quality butter, cocoa powder, cocoa butter and whipping cream. “

The method was discovered while he was tinkering around in his kitchen, trying to find a way to bake chocolate cakes in 10 minutes. During one of his experiments, while following Herve This's methods, the author found that chocolate mousse could be used to make chocolate cakes that could be baked in 10 minutes. He has not perfected the chocolate cake recipe and more experimental work needs to be done. Subsequently, by accident he found that cocoa powder could be mixed at room temperature with warm ingredients, without boiling, to make chocolate mousse.

You will need a blender, cocoa powder, sugar, whipping cream, cream cheese, vanilla, cocoa butter, butter and biscuits. With these ingredients you will be able to make gorgeous Tiramisu style chocolate mousse cream cheesecake. The texture and flavour improves when kept in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

There are many recipes that call for expensive and exotic chocolates but with a little experimentation they could be substituted with chocolate mousses made form cocoa powder with Dr. Hervé This methods. The advantage of using homemade chocolate mousse is that you can introduce your own exotic flavours. It is definitely worth trying out alternative methods and recipes.

The author has been working on techniques to make bread and pizza without the use of a mixer or bread making machine. Currently, he is working on cocoa powder based recipes and carrying out experiments with eggs. His recipes are published on his blog The Bread Diaries at bachutha.com .
