Chocolateorangemousse Recipes

Steps:

• Grind orange zest using a mortar and pestle until it forms a smooth paste.
• Combine chocolate, coffee, and orange zest in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly
• Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form (see Editor's Note).
• Add egg yolks to the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Pour over egg whites. Carefully fold together using a spatula until just combined.
• Pour mixture into 10 small dessert glasses or 1 large serving dish. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Melt the dark chocolate in a large bowl over hot water.
• Dissolve the jelly crystals in 250 mls of boiling water and put aside.
• Meanwhile, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until firm peaks form.
• While still over heat, using a whisk combine the dark chocolate, the egg yolks, the sugar (if using) and the jelly mixture. Remove from heat. Don't panic if it goes lumpy, this is normal and it will become smooth.
• Once the mixture is smooth and it has cooled slightly fold the egg whites in and mix until completely even in colour.
• Pour into dishes and cool.

Steps:

• In the top of a large double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the chocolates together. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly. In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the cream until stiff. Keep refrigerated.
• In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy, about 30 seconds more. Whisking hard, incorporate 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate until well blended. Fold in the next 1/3 of the egg whites. Fold in the remaining egg whites until just barely combined (the mixture will be streaky). Add the orange zest, orange juice concentrate, and whipped cream and fold until smooth.
• Use a pastry bag fitted with a large plain or star tip to pipe the mousse into serving dishes, or simply spoon it into a large serving bowl. Cover lightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in the top of a double boiler or microwave proof bowl with the water and salt.
• Heat until the chocolate is melted in the double boiler or microwave.
• Let cool for 2 minutes.
• Rapidly beat the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture one at a time.
• Beat in the extract, zest, and liqueur.
• In a clean bowl with clean beaters whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
• Gently but thoroughly fold in the chocolate mixture.
• Pour into a large serving dish or individual bowls or glasses.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Garnish with the chocolate curls and orange rind twists before serving.

Steps:

• Cut oranges horizontally in half. Run spoon around inside of each orange half, leaving fruit intact. Carefully remove fruit. Set orange shells aside. Cut white pith away from fruit, using downward cutting motion following shape of fruit. Place peeled fruit piece on its side, then cut down along membrane on both sides of each section to remove fruit. Reserve 1/2 cup of the orange sections for garnish. Fill orange shells evenly with remaining orange sections; set aside.
• Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in medium bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add ice cubes; stir until completely melted. Gently stir in whipped topping until well blended.
• Spoon gelatin mixture evenly into orange shells, using about 1/2 cup of the gelatin mixture for each shell. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Top evenly with reserved orange sections and drizzle with chocolate just before serving. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Soak the gelatine in cold water to soften it. Heat the orange juice in the microwave for 1 min. Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine, add to the hot juice and stir to dissolve. Set aside to cool.
• Put the egg yolks, sugar and orange zest into a bowl and whisk over a pan of hot water for 10 mins until thick and foamy. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until completely cool.
• Fold the gelatine, orange mix and liqueur, if using, into the egg yolk mixture. In separate bowls, whisk the egg whites and cream until both are softly stiff, then gently fold into the orange mix. Spoon into 8 cocktail glasses and chill until set. Will keep, covered, for 2 days.
• A couple of hrs before serving, make the caramel oranges. Heat the sugar in pan with 2 tbsp water. When the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat and cook until pale golden. Add the oranges (take care as the sugar will splutter) and swirl them round the pan to coat them in the caramel. Allow to cool. Spoon a couple of orange segments and some caramel juice on top of each mousse and serve with crisp biscuits on the side.
