Orange Mousse
Posted February 24th, 2011 in Food No Comments »I made this orange mousse on the BBQ (post is here), and everyone loved it. I had made cheese cake as dessert already, but in the morning I thought I would make one more dessert.
This mousse is such easy to make, and you can actually use bottled orange juice you have in your fridge – if you don’t have any fresh oranges. That’s what I used, and it tasted as good.
<Orange Mousse> makes about 2L
- 200ml water
- 100g granulated sugar
- 13g gelatine (powder) + 2tbs water
- 240ml orange juice (100%)
- 30ml lemon juice
- 30ml cointreau (optional)
- 340ml fresh cream
- Soak gelatine in 2 tbs water. Whip the cream to the soft peak.
- Place water and sugar in a sauce pan, and simmer over medium-low heat, while stirring with a silicon spatula, till the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat, and add the gelatine. Stir well to blend.
- Transfer the gelatine mixture into a mixing bowl. Add orange juice, lemon juice and cointreau, and mix.
- Place the bowl over iced water. Stir until the mixture become slightly thicken (but not until the gelatine sets).
- Mix the whipped cream to the mixture. Blend well.
- Pour the mixture into a mould, and keep in the fridge until it sets.
It’s a perfect dessert in summer. Enjoy with orange coulis, whipped cream, or fresh fruits!
