Ingredients
  

  • 4 sheets gelatine
  • 3 eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 3 oranges large
  • 4 dl whipping cream

Topping:

  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate
  • 1 slice orange

Instructions
 

  • First, soak the gelatine sheets in cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Then beat eggs and sugar untill a fluffy eggnog, use a mixer or a hand mixer.
  • Finely grate the peel of the oranges (you will need 1 tablespoon of grated orange peel) and squeeze the juice out of the oranges (you will need 1.5 dl of orange juice).
  • Squize the water out of the gelatine and put it in a saucepan together with 2 tbsp. of orange juice. Heat on low heat until the gelatine is completely melted. Stir in the meantime.
  • Once the gelatine has melted, take the pan off the heat and add the remaining orange juice and the orange peel. Now gently combine the orange juice with gelatine and orange peel into the fluffy eggnog.
  • Whip the cream into light whipped cream. Carefully combine the whipped cream into the eggnog / orange mix, save a little whipped cream for garnish (approx. 1 dl). Serve your orange mousse in a large bowl or in a small serving glass, and refrigerate for 2 hours so that it can set. Garnish with a little whipped cream on top, chopped dark chocolate and orange slices before serving.
