Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 150 milliliters Orange juice
- 200 milliliters Whipping cream
- 8 grams Powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 50 grams Almonds
- 25 grams Butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 sheet Edible gold leaf
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the orange zest and orange juice.
Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 7-8 minutes).
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled orange mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.
To make the praline, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey together over low heat, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and mix in the almonds.
Spread the almond mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Let cool completely, then break into small shards.
To assemble, divide the orange mousse evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Just before serving, garnish each mousse with crispy almond praline shards and a small piece of edible gold leaf for a luxurious finish.
