Mousse of Duck Foie Gras with Truffles

This Mousse of Duck Foie Gras with Truffles is a refined French specialty made with 50% duck foie gras and 2% truffles, delivering a smooth, elegant balance of richness and aromatic depth. The mousse is delicately blended with duck fat and eggs for a silky texture, then seasoned with Armagnac and tawny port to enhance the foie’s natural savoriness without overpowering it.

The addition of truffles brings an earthy, nuanced character that unfolds gradually on the palate, complementing the foie gras rather than competing with it. Lightly seasoned with white pepper and a touch of sugar, the mousse finishes clean and luxurious, making it well suited for spreading on toasted brioche, pain de mie, or crackers. Its fine texture and measured truffle presence make it an excellent choice for composed appetizers and elegant entertaining.
