I made a fig, bourbon, and foie gras mousse; let it chill overnight; roll the mousse into little balls and briefly freeze ‘em; take some of our Port caramel sauce (that we use for our chocolate moltens) and dip the frozen foie mousse balls in the caramel, setting them on foil; refrigerate that so the caramel starts to harden—20-30 minutes; temper evil dark chocolate—this time the Extreme 85% from Chatelain’s; dip the caramel-coated foie balls in the chocolate using the tines of a fork to gently roll ‘em around to cover.

I can see it’s going to be an early lunch for me.  Heavenly, e.

Frozen truffles made from foie gras?  I am intrigued.  Actually, I’m a little frightened, but then again, I was a little frightened of bacon chocolate, too, and now I know it’s not only not scary, but pretty good.

Thanks for sharing this e.  That Chris de Barr is a wonder. :)

It’s funny isn’t it.  It was the romance of these words that made hungry, not the actual ingredients.  I mean, you’ll not catch me eating foie gras to save my life.

I guess this is why glossy food books sell so well.  It’s all in the head.
