Swirl your spoon into a cloud of citrusy delight! This White Chocolate & Orange Mousse is a symphony of light and flavor. Creamy white chocolate forms the base, infused with the vibrant zest of fresh orange and a touch of fragrant liqueur. Each bite is a luxurious experience, with the mousse practically melting on your tongue.
200mlCrème Anglaise (ready-bought or home-made – if you use my recipe, don’t infuse the milk with orange and cardamom, and halve the recipe)
Zest of 1 orange
Whipped Cream
Instructions
Pour 5cm of water into a medium sized pot and simmer. Switch off the heat and place a bowl on top of the pot so that it fits snugly without touching the water. Break chocolate into the bowl and leave to melt slowly, stirring occasionally.
Mix together boiling water and gelatine until dissolved and set aside.
Separately, whisk the egg whites with an electric beater until they form soft peaks.
Stir the gelatine and liqueur into the chocolate and whisk until smooth, keeping the bowl on top of the pot at all times.
Remove the bowl from the pot, whisk in the Crème Anglaise and orange zest until smooth.
Fold in the egg whites with a large metal spoon until combined. Pour into 6 serving glasses or ramekins and chill for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped cream, immediately prior to serving.
