CHOCOLATE AND OLIVE OIL MOUSSE



Chocolate and Olive Oil Mousse image

Olive oil makes this bittersweet chocolate mousse kosher for a meat meal. Joan Nathan brought the recipe to The Times in 2007. "This is a contemporary dessert from Tangiers, a city with a blend of cultures," the cookbook author Ana Benarroch de Bensadón said. "Originally this recipe included butter and cream, but we replaced it with olive oil, making it 'parve' or neutral."

DREAMY ORANGE MOUSSE

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 5h25m

Yield 6 servings

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:

  • 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.

1/4 cup orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Pour the mousse into individual dishes or an 8-cup serving bowl. Chill and decorate with whipped cream and oranges. Serve with extra whipped cream on the side.

CHOCOLATE-ORANGE MOUSSE



Chocolate-Orange Mousse image

This is the best mousse ever! It is so quick, is low Gi and tastes amazing. It's incredibly rich. For a change use raspberry jelly instead. In Australia we have sachets of jelly that make up 500mls of jelly each. I simply measured one of these. Use the best chocolate you can find (70% or higher)), this is a simply recipe and relies on top ingredients. Have fun, dress it up for a fancy dinner, it never fails to impress!

Orange-Scented Chocolate Mousse: Pro Recipes, Cook's Hacks & Dazzling Presentation

Master the velvety texture and irresistibly rich chocolate taste of the classic French dessert, Oranger-Scented Chocolate Mousse, with these expert tips:
  • Fresh Oranges and High-Caliber Chocolate: The key ingredients, oranges, and chocolate dictate the mousse's destiny. Utilize the vibrant aroma of navel or blood oranges for a citrus symphony and pair them with superior-grade dark chocolate (70% cacao minimum) to achieve an opulent, luxurious mousse.
  • Orange Zest Vibrancy: Enhance your mousse with the vibrant zestiness of freshly grated orange zest, capturing the aromatic essential citrus oil. Incorporate it during the chocolate-cream mixture's infusion to diffuse the fragrance throughout the mousse.
  • Precise Chocolate Melting: Create the perfect chocolate foundation for your mousse. Place the chocolate and cream in separate heatproof bowls over a saucepan filled with simmering water. Stir until the chocolate melts while monitoring the temperature to prevent overheating (maximum 86°F/30°C).
  • Gentle Handling of Egg Yolks: Temper the egg yolks by introducing the warm chocolate mixture in a slow, gentle stream while stirring vigorously. This process prevents the yolks from curdling, resulting in a silky-smooth, unified mousse.
  • Optimal Egg Whites Foaming: Achieve the light and airy texture of the mousse by meticulously beating the egg whites in a separate bowl until attaining a soft-peak stage. The egg whites should form peaks that flop over when poured back.
  • Temperature Synchronization: Before merging the whipped cream and chocolate mixtures, ensure they are at similar, near-freezing temperature. This technique prevents the mousse from curdling, resulting in an impeccably smooth texture.
  • Enticing Presentation: Embrace the beauty of simplicity when plating the mousse. Mousse quenelles (small, elongated ovals) or piped rosettes elegantly nestled in serving bowls create a visually appealing presentation. Garnish with orange zest, chocolate shavings, or crystallized orange slices for an extra touch of sophistication and citrusy flair.
  • Conclusion: A Symphony of Chocolate and Citrus Delights

    Oranger-Scented Chocolate Mousse emerges as a delectable display of culinary artistry, offering a delightful symphony of chocolate and citrus flavors in every spoonful. With careful attention to ingredients, temperature, and technique, this indulgent dessert is sure to impress and enthrall your palate. It's an absolute showstopper for special gatherings, dinner parties, or simply as a luxurious treat for yourself. Embark on this culinary journey and experience the irresistible allure of this classic French dessert, leaving a long-lasting and unforgettable taste of chocolate heaven.
