DREAMY ORANGE MOUSSE



Dreamy Orange Mousse image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup blood orange juice
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (from 1/2 orange)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5 crunchy gingersnap cookies

Steps:

  • As seen on: Giada's Holiday Handbook, Episode 5. Holiday Desserts.
  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, bring the orange juice to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sugar, the salt and yolks until smooth. Whisking constantly, add half of the reduced orange juice to the yolk mixture to temper. When it is all incorporated, return the tempered yolk mixture to the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula to prevent the eggs from scrambling, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and the zest. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the mixture and refrigerate until chilled through, at least 5 hours.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a medium bowl, and add the vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium speed just until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful avoid over-beating. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chilled orange mixture. Pour that mixture into the remaining whipped cream and continue to fold until completely incorporated. Divide the mixture among six 3-ounce serving bowls or espresso cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, put the gingersnaps in a resealable plastic bag and smash gently with a rolling pin. Sprinkle on top of the mousse, and serve.

CHOCOLATE & CREAMY ORANGE MOUSSE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chocolate & Creamy Orange Mousse Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by HeatherS

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1/4 cup cocoa
1 can (14-ounces) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk), divided
2 tablespoons orange juice plus 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel or 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, divided
2 cups (1-pint) cold whipping cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat; add cocoa, then 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour mixture into medium bowl; cool to room temperature. Beat in 1 tablespoon orange juice and 1 teaspoon orange peel. Beat whipping cream in large bowl until stiff. Fold half of whipped cream into chocolate mixture. In a second medium bowl, stir together remaining sweetened condensed milk, remaining 1 tablespoon orange juice and 1 teaspoon orange peel. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Spoon equal portions of chocolate mixture into 8 dessert dishes, making a depression in center of each. Spoon creamy orange mixture into center of each. Refrigerate until well chilled. Garnish as desired. Cover; refrigerate leftover dessert.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use frozen or canned orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest contains a lot of flavor, and it will help to make your mousse more flavorful.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff. You want them to be fluffy and soft.
  • Fold the egg whites into the orange mixture gently. If you mix them too vigorously, you will deflate the egg whites and your mousse will not be as light and fluffy.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Orange mousse is a light, fluffy, and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy hosts. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, orange mousse is sure to be a hit with your guests.
