FROZEN GRAND MARNIER MOUSSE
Elegant and scrumptious but not hard to do, this is a dessert for anyone who enjoys orange liqueur. Except for the flavoring, this classic French recipe has strong resemblances to tiramisu; but instead of freezing the mousse mixture, the Italian dessert uses mascarpone cheese to firm it up. The liqueur-soaked ladyfingers provide bursts of intense flavor, and the alcohol keeps them from freezing solid. Cubes of spongecake can substitute for the ladyfingers; and with a bit of experimentation, you can replace the orange flavoring with rum, or coffee and Kahlua, or what you will.

Steps:
- Chill a 1-quart souffle mold in the freezer while you prepare the mousse; also refrigerate a 1 1/2 quart bowl for the whipped cream.
- Line up the ladyfingers in a single layer in a baking dish, top side up, and slowly drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the Grand Marnier.
- Warm the yolks in a 3-cup bowl set in hot tap water.
- Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan on high-medium heat, whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved, and boil 2 minutes. For the same 2 minutes, beat the yolks and orange rind with an electric hand mixer until pale and thick. When the syrup is ready, pour it into the yolks, beating constantly, and continue beating on medium to high speed for 6 minutes, until the mousse base is thick, white, and cool.
- Combine the cream and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Grand Marnier in the chilled bowl and beat to medium-firm peaks. Scoop in the mousse base and fold together completely with a rubber spatula.
- Layer a third of the mixture in the chilled mold and top with half the soaked ladyfingers; repeat with a second layer, and finish with the remaining mousse mixture.
- Cover with plastic and freeze well, at least 6 hours. Serve on chilled plates.
- For a pseudo-souffle effect, use a 3-cup mold with a paper collar; at serving time, remove the collar and sift cocoa over the top to simulate oven browning.

CHEF JOHN'S DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
This has a pinch of chile pepper as the secret ingredient. It's firm yet unbelievably light and airy. The little bit of chile pepper is in there just to bring out the flavor of the chocolate and add a tiny bit of delicious heat. Garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate.

Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer over low heat. Place chocolate, butter, 2 tablespoons water, ground chipotle pepper, and salt in a heatproof bowl; set bowl over the simmering water. When the butter melts, whisk the chocolate mixture gently until smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Whisk egg yolks, 2 tablespoons water, and sugar in another heatproof bowl over the same pan of simmering water until egg yolk mixture is foamy and hot to the touch, about 3 minutes. Pour hot egg mixture into warm chocolate mixture, whisk until smooth, and set over a bowl of ice to chill. Whisk constantly until mixture has cooled to room temperature or slightly cooler.
- Pour 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon cold cream into a chilled metal bowl; whisk until cream holds soft peaks. Place about half the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture; gently fold the cream into the chocolate. Repeat with remaining half of whipped cream, folding gently until nearly all the streaks have disappeared. Divide mousse into 4 6-ounce ramekins.
- Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours (up to overnight) before serving.

HUEY'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH GRAND MARNIER
Another of Huey's recipes: this one he called Matthew's White Chocolate Mousse but I have no idea who Matthew is! Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a larger than life Melbourne restaurateur and chef who also features on his own extremely popular TV show. I have posted several of his recipes on Zaar. The preparation and cooking times below do not include the 2-3 hours chilling time and the 30 minutes recommended for allowing the mousses to come closer to room temperature. If you prefer your mousse colder, then this last 30 minute step could be omitted.

Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are cold before starting the recipe. This will help the mousse set properly.
- Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blackberries, thaw them before using.
- Do not overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and will not hold its shape.
- If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Serve the mousse with fresh blackberries and a drizzle of Grand Marnier.

Grand Marnier mousse with blackberries is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and airy, with a rich and flavorful mousse filling and a tart and tangy blackberry topping. This mousse is sure to impress your guests, and it is a great way to end a special meal.
