Chocolate Mousse
Caramelized Milk Ice Cream, Urfa Chili, Peanut Ossi di Morti
Chocolate mousse is non-traditional (no cream or eggs), the chocolate is melted in a double boiler along with water and the urfa chili (a sun dried chili from turkey with a subtle smokey heat). The melted chocolate and water mixture is whipped while still warm to incorporate air bubbles into the chocolate as it cools resulting in a light and fluffy mousse. Caramelized milk ice cream (milk, sugar, baking soda, and salt is brought to a simmer and reduced to 2/3 it’s initial weight, during this process the sugars caramelize. The caramelized milk is then combined with egg yolks and this mixture is cooked on low heat to make an ice cream base. The base is then chilled overnight and spun in the ice cream maker.)  Ossi di Morti (italian for bones of the dead) are a traditional italian cookie commonly made with almonds or hazelnuts. We will be using crumbled peanuts mixed powdered sugar and egg whites to form a dough with a paste like consistency. The cookies are dusted with bitter cocoa power and baked.) Candied cocoa nibs garnish the plate. Cocoa nibs are the dried bean of the cacao tree that can be processed to make chocolate. The nibs are blanched in simple syrup and tossed in sugar to coat. Allergy: Nuts*, Dairy*
