garlic mousse

[sundancer 10225]

Does anyone have a good recipe for this or encountered a nice version in a local establishment?

I posted this request on my local board but got no replies. Trying again here, maybe a more appropriate spot.

I once had a roast garlic flan at a restaurant many years ago that was so good, I went back into the kitchen to get the recipe. Not really a mousse, so not sure if this is what you're looking for. Happy to dig up the recipe if it sounds like what you're after.

I really can't provide any more information. I encountered this term in a food article in which the author was describing a succulent meal. I fiund the idea intriguing and wondered how common it was. So don't really know much more about it. I think it was served with rabbit but I'm not sure I remember correctly. But do tell me about your flan if it was something memorable. Thanks

You will need a more detailed description to get any real insight or help on this.
Was like a whipped cream cheese? or foamy ?

How about a garlic-infused chantilly (savory whipped cream)?

The only technique (not an actual "recipe") that I'm familiar with for making garlic mousse is to roast about 4 heads of garlic with olive oil drizzled over the tops and squeeze the garlic out of them when they're done, then puree the garlic with a bit of parsley added and whip up some heavy cream. Fold that into the garlic with a pinch of salt and white pepper to taste. But I don't really like that as much as using a similar process and whipping the garlic into sour cream or cream cheese. Chives are optional.
