Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 2 drops Orange food coloring
- 2 ounces Dark chocolate
- 6 leaves Mint leaves
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into a lined baking sheet, shaping it into six elongated ovals to resemble surfboards. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and orange food coloring. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Remove the graham cracker bases from the freezer. Spoon or pipe the orange mousse onto each base, shaping it to align with the surfboard shape. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted.
Using a piping bag or spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the orange mousse to mimic the design of a surfboard.
Refrigerate the assembled surfboards for at least one hour to firm up.
Before serving, garnish each surfboard with a fresh mint leaf at one end. Serve chilled and enjoy!
