My question is whether ...Happy New Year Chef John,<br /><br />My question is whether it is safe to add the powdered chilpotle chile powder when the chocolate is melted before it is whipped up. I usually add it at this stage but never did it with chocolate mousse. You're the pro.<br /><br />Thanks! Making this tonight for tomorrow. Yes I should have asked earlier. <br /><br />HeatherBeachMom65https://www.blogger.com/profile/06879620776430618611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-41307952035937706522014-08-17T11:58:23.936-04:002014-08-17T11:58:23.936-04:00Sorry, not sure!

Turned out amazing. The only changes I made were to omit the butter (the white chocolate was buttery enough) and I used less water because I made it the filling for chocolate cake.

When melting my chocolate in the double broiler, the first time it turned into a chunky dry mess. Not the creamy version you have on the video. My guess is I over mixed it. What do you think?

Even though I love my Chef and think he is great but i still keep following your blog, and following you on Youtube. <br /><br />I work in the customer side of the biggest (maybe the best) Patisserie in Bahrain. <br /><br />I'm making this recipe for my daughter's birthday party. If I remember right it was good for 4 servings only. I need to make it for 20pax. So I would like to ask you if I should make it in small portions one by one as your recipe or simply multiply the ingredients by 5 and make it once?<br /><br />The birthday party is on 5th Oct hope to get an answer soon! <br /><br /><3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-79190323538349453302012-08-19T10:26:59.012-04:002012-08-19T10:26:59.012-04:00yes, a 60% or 70% cacao is perfect.yes, a 60% or 70% cacao is perfect.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-90985962743880754942012-08-19T03:05:17.707-04:002012-08-19T03:05:17.707-04:00When you say dark chocolate bar do you mean bitter...When you say dark chocolate bar do you mean bittersweet or unsweetened?
