Description
Molecular gastronomy for desserts uses spherification to create bouncy, flavorful balls of liquid using sodium alginate and calcium chloride.
Technical
The process involves dissolving sodium alginate in cold water and calcium chloride in hot water, then combining them to form a membrane around the droplet. The temperature of the bath can affect the size and texture of the spheres, with warmer temperatures producing larger spheres. This technique allows for the creation of unique and innovative desserts.
