I love how you're not afraid to show the fails, too.
The failures make the triumphs all the sweeter. 👏🏼
You’re a legend, she replied
Frrr
Queen of failing forward❤️❤️
It's great because it saves us making the same mistakes 😊
“For a smoother finish heat up the spoons”
Yeah not gonna lie my mind immediately said “microwave”.
Yikes.
Wondering how many people are gonna admit that burned they're fingers after heating them up.
Yeah please use hot water or at the very least just put them over fire NOT TOO LONG or you could damage your spoon.
If you only have a microwave heat up the water in it and heat up your spoons in the water.
Also if your spoon has a wooden handle you won't burn your hands.
Do not put any metal in the microwave
@@Denturess you can in a modern microwave. Many come with metal racks these days.
5 months later, me seeing this comment:
Thank goodness I'm not the only one 😂
For those who are unaware, it’s the coating on the chocolate chips that will cause the recipe to fail. You’ll need to use a bar chocolate that you chop for a fail proof recipe every time. Or those larger baking pieces that have much less - no coating.
Happy chocolate mousse making everyone!
The "bigger pieces" in the video are a "couverture" chocolate. Couverture chocolate has more cocoa butter than standard eating chocolate, which makes is melt quickly and smoothly, and get a lovely snap with a glossy surface after tempering. It's the type of chocolate used to make those crazy chocolate sculptures and the like. Chocolate chips are kind of the opposite of a couverture-type chocolate, since couverture is intended to melt smoothly, but chips are designed to hold their shape. To facilitate them holding shape, chips have less cocoa butter than standard eating chocolate, so they do not melt well.
"never mix chocolate and water"
The Aztecs: 👁️👄👁️
Ikr LOL too bad this comment went over people’s heads
This comment is under appreciated
Hot chocolate made with water👁️👄👁️
@@daisyflower8362 pls explain🥺 im a bit confused.
@@tasnimtabassum785 Wealthy Aztecs drank hot chocolate, although it was made with things like pepper and was savory. My assumption is that they made it with water.
I have chocolate and water. Finally something I can actually make!
Right? The struggle is real.
Haha! Finally!!! 🤗
Have fun lizzy
lol came here from a lana marathon.... then i find this comment
Same!
Never would have thought a two ingredient recipe would require so much effort.
I thought chocolate mousse was already 2 ingredients. Chocolate and Whipped cream.
Angelique Wilson I think the traditional version uses a pate au bombe which is made with eggs
Flashback to raindrop cake
mossattacks What on earth is pate au bombe? I’m French and have never heard this expression...literally bomb paste? I think chocolate mousse is traditionally chocolate and egg whites (and sugar if the chocolate is not sweetened enough).
Carole Berreur it’s a cooked egg and sugar base for buttercreams and mousse. It’s French according to google, idk what to tell ya
Emmy: Imma make chocolate mouse.
ROUND 1
Me: Uh-oh.
Me: I accidentally cooked the mouse.
😂 I wonder if British people randomly break out in American accents like we do
Yes.
Example: John Barrowman
Example: David Caves
We do. Very often.
TH-camr Barry Lewis does relatively often
Also, it was an English accent, not British. There's 3 countries that make up Britain. 4 that make up the UK.
English person here. Yes. We do.
Your joyful excitement when something comes together always makes me smile, but this time, even now as i write, it has me grinning from ear to ear. Aside from showing us how best to succeed with this recipe, you've warmed my heart with your exuberant spirit. Thanks muchly, peace & love from Montréal, Québec.
animerlon I love positive comments 😊
After seeing some negative put down ones this one made my day thank you
@@qqma4791 You're welcome, my pleasure. :-)
RIP to the first two bags of chocolate chips
I'd have tried reheating it with some condensed milk and made hot chocolate with it.
@@drflash36 Yes! Make hot chocolate with all chocolate mistakes. I just finished a batch of oops-I-made-way-too-much-chocolate-frosting hot chocolate, and ooh this could be the beginning of a very bad habit..
@@kayo5291 Oh use it in coffee - mocha is delish.
Technically she made yoo-hoo so all that needs to be done is just chill and drink
RIP to that FLY she mixed in there...
Ok but imagine how amazing this would be made with hot coffee instead of water
Ooooooohhhhhhh
Genius idea. NOW I'm going to make this.
Or something minty like a mint tea?
@@IamBATMAN2024 That's a great idea!
I was thinking about the same when watching the video 😍
I love that you include the trial and error parts in your videos. It actually helps so much especially when we all go through that and not enough videos out there share the reality of trying new recipes
I appreciate you doing these trials. It saves me so much money, effort, and time. Plus you put such a cute addition on to everything. Thanks Emmy!
Right? She's a ray of sunshine, if rays of sunshine could run a test kitchen.
I know they say not to use an electric whisk because its easier to feel when to let it go. But im positive you could get it done with less effort and probably quicker with one set to low power. Nice video :)
I was thinking the same, but at the same time whisking by hand allows you to add more air than a machine does if it doesnt whip up. You could probably do both and switch off to give your wrist a break -
thinking the same, maybe start with the electric whisk and then switch to a manual one. I want to try this!
I only use an electric beater. Boom! 2 minutes flat. Perfect mousse even with cheap chocolate. I use it to ice my vegan chocolate cake
So happy you posted this! I had COVID in June and it pretty much ruined me financially. I could definitely afford to make this dessert, I’m so excited!
I hope you’re feeling better now.
much love 💛
Jfc..
@chickthatisnormal your lungs are ok? I've heard some people have problems with their lungs after which I'm truly hoping that's not the case
On the first try after 10 minutes I would have got the electric mixer out
Ganache
Same
Emmy’s voice is so soothing and calming.
I love that it’s very pleasant to hear her talk.
dont we just love her
Accidental ASMR?
And don’t forget her personality is the cutest
I truly love Heston. I live in the US and was watching Australia masterchef he has been on there tons of times. He’s so crazy in a good way
Mad genius!
How do you watch MasterChef Australia in the States? I’m an Aussie and I MISS that show. TT_TT
Multin24 just a guess, mane uses a VPN? Or torrents it
If you can find the show Heston's Feasts (originally on Channel 4 I think) anywhere they were absolutely mind blowing! 😍
I love love love the fact that you continue to label background items even in the new filming kitchen!
I'm guessing it's the real and fake chocolate thing that differentiate the results here. Cause "fake chocolate" or "compound chocolate" don't contain coco butter like real chocolate does; it's not gonna set like real chocolate since there are actually no fat ingredients in there. Just check the ingredients on the package, if it has coco butter then it's definitely real chocolate.
But the chips were ghirardelli, not Hershey's or something.
I think it's the proportion of cocoa solids. Semisweet usually ranges from 40-50% cocoa and has a larger amount of milk. A 62% chocolate like she used usually has only cocoa solids and fat, with none or trace amounts of milk only, so it's a purer ingredient.
The chips she used do not contain substitute fats, but contain only 26% cocoa butter (compared to almost 40% in the Valrhona). This must make it harder for it to “set enough” so it can stiffen.
Considering how... er, different, American chocolate is to European in terms of cocoa solid content and sheer boatloads of sugar and bulking agents, yeah, small wonder the first few gos did not gel. Heston's recipe used European ingredients (well, ingredient!), small wonder cheap American chocolate didn't work.
@@Yaspis Ghirardelli is an Italian style chocolate yes they're an American company but not American style chocolate and they aren't cheap what so ever like $10 for the smallest count and $25 for 17 pieces on average.
Wondering what you did with the first two batches. Ice cream drizzle? Added to warm milk for hot cocoa?
Diabetus.
@@AtlasReburdened ita a valid question. So much of Emmy's channel is dedicated to hardship foods and affordability, it's impossible to imagine her wasting chocolate lol
I had the same question, I was thinking chocolate pancake syrup but hot cocoa sounds lovelyyyyy
Lmao!!! Her face after she killed the fly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was great of you to show the whole process! I wonder if it’s the lower amount of cocoa butter in the chips (so they retain their shape) vs the couverture premium chocolate causing it not to work. I believe it might have made it harder for the fat to crystallize in a way that allows it to stiffen. I also saw a video in which the recipe didn’t work for milk and white chocolate, and the chips you used contain milk solids, so I would consider that as well.
Can you share that video please! I’m trying to find a recipe with this method for white chocolate.
While watching Emmy I suddenly thought of something that just seemed so obvious. The best collaboration ever could be Emmy and Tabitha Brown. I would die
As someone who’s British, I really wish you did this entire video in a British accent - would’ve added that Heston flare 😂
She’d have to shave her head, too.
Lolll that’s be interesting
If there's one thing that has remained constant throughout all of this, it's Emmy ❤️
It’s awesome how real your channel is. It’s admirable how transparent you are with your mistakes!
"It only requires two ingredients: Chocolate, and a moose." - Emmy in a parallel universe.
Beginning of video: This will be fun to try!
Half way through: Nvm, I'm good.
😂😂
@Rebecca Thomas I'm sorry is this English
Rebecca Thomas Is this a bot?
For reals. 😂
@Rebecca Thomas What??
Now I’m craving for chocolate 🥺
Same
i'm now having dulce de leche with cocoa, a perfect solution
Your reaction and excitement when you got it right was ICONIC!! I was excited for you.
Absolutely love the enthusiasm when you got it to work the 3rd time! They say 3rd times a charm! This sounds amazing! Will definitely need to try this! Thank you again Emmy!
Thats kind of annoying that they didn't specify what kind of chocolate in their recipe or at least what percentage it needed to be to work, definitely would of been good to know.
‘Good quality dark chocolate 62%.’ It’s in the description.
Ash Ginsberg I think she meant in the original video
Would’ve
welp she says it at around 8:23
You never melt chocolate chips, that much should have been obvious
Wouldn't an electric hand mixer on slow work equally well for this? And reduce the frustration level a thousandfold?
it depends on if it needs only mixing or if its relying on the air. Whisking by hand incorporates more air than a machine (the technique u do with ur hand is different) so its possible it might not work or take more time. BUt someone would have to try. -
Someone asked that earlier and there's a whole thread of people saying they only do it with an electric whisk with perfect results for years.
I absolutely adore how excited you get when things work out !
Bless you Emmy and your unedited excitement. Love it.
When you spend DAYS studying for a test and you fail.
6:48
Me: *reads the title* It's probably gonna be chocolate and whipped cream
Emmy: "...only requires two ingredients: chocolate and WATER"
Me: Whaaaa
Know what I appreciate about you Emmy? You lowered the volume on your video during your little happy scream. That was really thoughtful and very much appreciated. :D
Amazing! Loved watching this so glad when the final batch worked I felt the relief 😀
Emmy seems like the sweetest person I’ll ever meet
My arm aches just watching you. I admire your persistence. Third times a charm.
ps That very day my son and I had talked about chocolate being a safer and antidepressant than any medication.
Go Emmy! One of your greatest feats on the channel. I knew you could do it ♥️
British here and I love it when you put on the accent, keep doing you! You honestly cheer me up so much with your quirky and delightful videos ✨
Considering this is a Heston recipe, I’m surprised there’s no liquid nitrogen involved or something weird 😅
The original recipe called for dihydrogen monoxide.
Snail porridge.
@@falconwind00 well duh
This whole time I was just thinking look at Ann Readons recipe, look at her recipe. Hers is the most reliable in my experience (and the least work), she is an actual food scientist so it make sense.
I love making mouse like this, it’s very rich, so I like using it as a small dollop on the side to tartes, cakes, berries or pies, a bit like I would use whip cream, but it’s chocolate.
The best thing about it is that the chocolate flavour is so incredibly pure. It just taste intensely of the chocolate you use, and you get this fluffy velvety mouthfeel.
It’s just chocolate and water, so it taste like the chocolate you use and nothing else, so use a nice chocolate you really like the taste of.
Hi Emmy! Thank you for continuing to create content! I discovered your channel a few years ago when I had to have eye surgery. The recovery included me laying facedown for two weeks. I stumbled on your channel during that time and your light and positivity really helped me to feel better and maintain a better mood and attitude. I’m so thankful to you! 💜
I tried this with Emmy's 3. version and it totally works! It's super delicious and smooth! 10000% recommend
you should watch "How to cook that"s channel. she has a 2 ingredient mousse recipe that has a different technique
Is that Ann Reardon’s?
@@MaxOakland It is! I love her stuff
I immediately thought of her video too
🐀
th-cam.com/video/F8kZtSJRZuA/w-d-xo.html
random but i’ve been watching you since 2011 & i’ve always loved the way you carry yourself. your vids have always been therapeutic lol
i love your excitement when it works! thanks for making these videos they lift my days
The genuine enthusiastic joy when it works, it’s so sweet! 😁❤️
Love that you include the whole process
It feels so weird watching someone putting water on chocolate lol
I got such joy from your enthusiastic reaction when it started to solidify properly!
Beautiful recipe, thank you!
I love how excited you get xx
I can confirm that it does work with semi-sweet chocolate chips.
But it can also not work like your batches. I've mixed a batch for an hour once. It later thickened in my fridge but only on top while the bottom remained as a normal liquid.
Getting the right ratio is crucial. I use 9.35 ounces by weight of chocolate chips with 1 cup of water.
I'm calling this the Emmy wrist work out 😂 I'm tempted to use an electric hand mixer instead 😂
I'm so happy you finally got it!
I really enjoy watching your videos, there's calmness in your aura.
“Don’t forget to lick the spoon.” :P
Emmy is so adorable! She reacts in the same way that I would have after all of those attempts. Great work Emmy!
Coming onto Emmys channel always feels like getting to hang out with your cool mom when you’re younger experimenting in the kitchen ☺️
This recipe is magical indeed!! Delicious!! Thank you for doing the trials and finding out the proportions for us!!
this is perfect. I was just craving some chocolate ;)
"Only requires two ingredients. Water and
Moose."
XDDD
You mean Chocolate and... ?
@@PrettyyLisaa no
@@diy_cat9817 she never said "water and.." she said.. today were going to be ma... 🙄Nvm. Okay
@@PrettyyLisaa I'm sorry the joke was too big brain for you.
I love how happy you were when you finally got it!!! 💕
Hello Emmy! I made this today, with 250g of 70% dark choc, and 150g water, which worked in almost exactly 10 mins. Thank you so much for showing us what works and what doesn't! :D
The 70s montage music restored my hope
So, my theory is that it is the lower weight% of sugar in the higher-%chocolate (62%) that allows the natural cocoa butter in the chips to help set the mousse. Whereas the higher weight% of sugar in the lower-%chocolate (semisweet) exerts a greater hygroscopic effect, drawing in more moisture to the mixture and therefore inhibiting the formation of a firm mousse.
RJFlute
Also why couverture chocolate worked as opposing to the baking chips and the other chocolate due to the higher cocoa butter.
Edit: wow okay I’m stupid. It’s because of both the lower sugar and the higher cocoa butter
@@bl6973 well, I'm just guessing here, so your guess is as good as mine! :)
It sucks when it doesn't work out, but when you try and try again until you get it right, you make the most helpful video!!! Thanks for all the perseverance!
Your little happy dances make me so happy! I can't believe you weren't crying in pain from a full hour of whisking--I'm glad you gave yourself a break!
;_; you are so cute, make my day 100% brighter!!
Emmy getting a british accent is like that cartoon Chowder where he sometimes get does a british accent.
Anyone watches Chowder?
Yum!! I love your easy to follow videos. Thanks for sharing 😊
Congrats, girl, you are amazing!
Your reaction after take three is priceless, all you needed to do was to spike a football after the score :-D
So stoked not to attempt Round 4. 😂
@@emmymade XD
I think you could have done with the "lesser quality" chocolate if you had used less water, I say this because I've used candy melts to make "water ganache"
ginagaladriel Oooh! How did that turn out? Sounds like a good vegan alternative!
@@Trund27 It worked well, all you need to do is add water little by little after melting the candy melts, at first it will seize, but if you keep adding (around 1 tbsp of) water a little at time and mix, it will depend on the humidity of where you are.
@Pink Salt
From Google:
"
Candy melts are made to emulate white chocolate, which is then tinted. But they replace the more expensive cocoa butter, that is a key component of chocolate’s flavor, with vegetable oil. The ingredients of candy melts are sugar, milk solids (powdered milk), vegetable oils, flavorings and colors. Chocolate candy melts add cocoa powder, but still use vegetable oil.
"
@Pink Salt You're most welcome. You can still do the water mousse and/or ganache if you use regular chocolate of your liking, just make sure to add the water little by little once it reaches the ganache texture you want, you can whip to thicken to a mousse
@Pink Salt use Google and find out yourself. You're the one who decided going vegan was a good idea
Your excitement when it worked is the best!!!
I love the fact that you include fails to your videos. Very encouraging to people who are afraid to make mistakes and fail.
Ooooh Dalgona mousse
Chocolate chips have stabilizers in them to keep their shape when making cookies, so I wonder if that had an effect on the thickening up.
The lecithin should allow for a more emulsified mixture.
You are seriously tenacious
Thank you, Emmy, for always brightening my day! You and this recipe are nothing short of amazeballs 🙂
When you said chocolate & water my face went :o and then you acknowledged that you are breaking the rules hahahaha
Me: Wow Amazing
Also me: 2 ingredient, a ton of effort
I love your energy and determination! Thanks so much for sharing!! You deserved every single bite of that success 😋😋😋
Emmy thank you with this hard time we are living with right now I just had to I tell you how grateful I am to you. You are one of the bright sides of TH-cam and bring me so much joy.
Hahaha omg I love how the thumbnail just looks like poop with a garnish
Sounds like something my son would say.... 😩
This might be fun(ny) to serve at a baby shower!
My same exact thought lol
For all of us that wanted to skip arm day but want desert!
lol
Youre excitement is so adorable
Congratulations on 2 million!!!💕🎉🎉
You had me at "chocolate."
