chocolate mousse
• Melt gently the chocolate in a Bain Marie, once melted let cool down.
• Meanwhile, pour the liquid from one can of chickpea in a mixer bowl and whisk for 8 to 10 minutes or until “ soft pick “
• Fold gently the melted white chocolate with the Aquafaba and pour the mixture into a glass or a ramekin, let set in fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Grate the sechuan button and sprinkle on top of the mousse, add the motti cress and serve with apricot Jam, chocolate shard and parsnip crisp.
parsnip Crips / sechuan sugar
• Using a peeler, make some peeling of parsnip and blanch a few second in boiling water, refresh straight away and place the strip on tissue paper to absorb the excess of water.
Sprinkle each strip with some sechuan sugar and leave to dry out in a dehydrator machine for at least 1 hour.
• To make the sechuan sugar, simply blitz together ½ punnet of sechuan buttons with 250 g of sugar.
