Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.3333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 teaspoons Orange liqueur (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings
- 4 pieces Fresh orange segments (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, instant espresso powder, and orange zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and small bubbles form around the edges, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and orange liqueur (if using), and mix well.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove any lumps or zest. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Divide the mixture evenly between four serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, top each dessert with dark chocolate shavings and a fresh orange segment for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Orange Cappuccino Creams!
