Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 ml Fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 7 grams Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely, but do not let it boil.
Remove the orange juice mixture from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.
In another clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt until they reach soft peaks.
Gently fold the cooled orange mixture into the whipped cream, making sure it is fully combined. Then, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites until no streaks remain.
Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Garnish with additional orange zest, a slice of orange, or a sprig of mint before serving, if desired.
