Recipe 1: Smoked Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

●     8 oz dark chocolate, chopped

●     4 large eggs, separated

●     1/4 cup granulated sugar

●     1 cup heavy cream

●     1 tsp vanilla extract

●     Wood chips (cherry or apple work well)

Instructions:

1.    Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2.    Whip the Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.

3.    Whip the Egg Whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

4.    Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture until well combined.

5.    Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

6.    Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

7.    Add Smoke: Before serving, use your Bon Apperoo™ culinary smoker to add a touch of smoke to the chocolate mousse. Load the smoker with cherry or apple wood chips and follow the instructions to infuse the mousse with smoke for about 1-2 minutes.

8.    Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Smoked Chocolate Mousse shortly after smoking for the best flavor.

Recipe 2: Smoked Fruit Compote

Ingredients:

●     2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

●     1/4 cup sugar

●     1 tbsp lemon juice

●     1 tsp vanilla extract

●     Wood chips (apple or cherry work well)

Instructions:

1.    Prepare the Fruit Compote: In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

2.    Cool: Remove the compote from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

3.    Add Smoke: Transfer the compote to a shallow dish. Using your Bon Apperoo™ culinary smoker, add the desired wood chips (apple or cherry work well) and follow the instructions to infuse the compote with smoke for about 3-5 minutes.

4.    Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Smoked Fruit Compote as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or as a standalone dessert.

Pro Tip: For an added touch of elegance, serve the smoked desserts with a sprig of mint or a dollop of whipped cream.
