# Chocolate Orange Mousse - CotswoldXL Magazine

what's on? XL directory xl tv About our services Contact Recipe: Easy Chocolate Orange Mousse I have a confession. Like a small child, the main event of Christmas Day – the turkey, the spuds, the parsnips, and the stuffing—isn’t the highlight for me. I have always been, and always will be, a lady who likes the sweet things in life. The trouble is that I'm pretty stuffed by the time dessert comes around, and the joy of pudding is significantly diminished. This is why I like a mousse. It’s light but can be full of rich flavour with the added soothing charm of a creamy texture. Don’t miss out on a sweet finale this Christmas Day and enjoy my Easy Chocolate Orange Mousse recipe. ‍ Ingredients ‍ 150g of good quality dark chocolate finely chopped 80g unsalted butter 1 tablespoon of Cointreau zest of 1 orange 3 eggs separated 20g Caster sugar 125ml double cream ‍ Method ‍ In a small pan over a low heat, gently melt the butter, sugar and Cointreau. Continuously stir until the sugar is dissolved Then add the chocolate, mixing the ingredients well as it melts Add the orange peel and set the pan aside to cool Next whip the double cream into soft peaks and set aside Whip the egg whites into soft peaks and set aside Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture and slowly combine Then fold together the whipped egg whites and chocolate mixture, then fold in your whipped cream Pour the mixture into shallow containers and chill for at least 3-4 hours before serving straight from the fridge. Garnish with orange peel Enjoy! ‍ No items found.
