Yum! Chocolate Orange Mousse is one of the best combinations! In a classically made light and bubbly French mousse—beautiful!
Ingredients
- 60 grams Dark Cooking Chocolate
- 5 grams Butter
- 60 milliliters Whipping Cream
- 1 whole Egg
- 15 grams Caster Sugar
- 30 milliliters Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
- ½ Orange Rind
Preparation
Break chocolate into pieces and add into a microwave proof bowl with butter. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring in between. You don’t want the chocolate to be hot, literally just melted.
Whip cream to stiff peaks.
Separate egg and whisk yolk. In separate bowl, add sugar to egg white and whisk until it forms stiff peaks.
Stir egg yolk, orange juice and orange rind into the chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is not hot to the touch!
Fold chocolate mixture into the cream using a spatula. Fold no more than 8 times—it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit streaky. Add the egg white to the mixture, again folding it in. The mixture should be fully combined but try and use as few folds as possible so you don’t reduce the air in the mixture.
Pour or pipe into containers and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set. Enjoy with extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings and/or orange slices on top (not included in calorie count).
