Chocolate Orange Mousse
February 20, 2013
Oranges are packed with nutrients. This particular fruit is known to be low in caloric content, and has no cholesterol or saturated fats. It is rich in fiber, too. Oranges, like other citrus fruits, are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is a powerful natural antioxidant. And the list of the nutritional contents of oranges goes on…
I just gave you one whole paragraph regarding oranges because it's gonna be in the recipe I'll be giving you now! Of course the recipe is not as nutritious as orange when it's all by itself, but some of the nutrients are still there, right? LOL At least, the flavor is very present. A lot of chocolate lovers dig their treat with a hint of orange. I'm not crazy about chocolate and orange pairing myself, but this recipe is actually pretty good!

Chocolate Orange Mousse Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add juice of orange and stir occasionally until chocolate has melted. Remove from heat and stir in butter, orange liqueur and egg yolks. Whisk egg whites until they form stiff peaks and gently fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into a glass serving bowl. Chill for at least two hours until set. Spoon whipped double cream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe around top of mousse and arrange orange rind and grated chocolate alternately around the cream to decorate. |
Enjoy! 🙂
