Ginger-Scallion Catalan Chocolate Mousse

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the chocolate mousse and let it ginger-scallion, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the eggs along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the coconut milk and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
