Instructions
Ensure the fresh foie gras lobe is well-chilled. Remove any veins or membranes and cut it into smaller, manageable pieces.
Infuse with Sherry and Spices
In a bowl, combine the chopped foie gras, imported dry sherry, crushed juniper berries, minced shallot, fragrant ground clove, pristine sea salt crystals, and ground white pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2-3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once infused, transfer the marinated foie gras mixture into a food processor or blender.
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the processor occasionally for uniform blending.
In a separate bowl, whip the velvety heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the blended foie gras mixture. Use a spatula to combine them delicately.
Transfer the prepared foie gras mousse into ramekins or a serving dish.
Cover the mousse with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent air exposure.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow it to set and enhance its flavors.
Once it is chilled and set, remove the foie gras mousse from the refrigerator.
Serve the luxurious Foie Gras Mousse with toasted bread, crackers, or as a gourmet topping to enhance your culinary creations.
Notes
You can substitute chicken liver for the foie gras if desired.
The mousse can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
The mousse can be served with crackers, toast points, crostini, or other accompaniments.
If you don’t have cognac or brandy, you can use sherry or white wine instead.
You can also add a tablespoon of chopped chives or a few drops of truffle oil to the mousse before serving for added flavor.
