Chocolate & Orange Mousse

 
 
 Chocolate Mousse Recipe

175 gms of Semi-sweet Organic Chocolate Buds
2 tbs of Unsalted Butter
1 tsp of Orange Rind
1 tps of Water
1 Cup of Cold Whipping Cream
3 Egg whites from large eggs
1 tsp of White Sugar

Method:

1. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and then regfrigerate.
2. Combine the Butter and Chocolate Buds in a metal bowl on top of a double boiler on the stove. Heat gently and stir. Add 1 tbs of water. Keep stirring until the chocolate has melted and is a thick liquid. Add the orange rind and stir.
3. Remove the chocolate from the stove to cool just slightly. The chocolate still has to be warm when you mix in the cold cream otherwise it will harden.
4. Whip the egg whites to form soft peaks then add the sugar and keep whipping for another 2 minutes.
5. With a wooden spoon stir half the egg whites into chocolate gently but not completely. Next, fold in half the cream and then add the remaining egg whites. Fold again and then add in the remaining cream and fold gently several times until you have a sort of liquid mousse.
6. Add the mousse mixture into glasses and refrigerate until it's time to serve. I did this last step with a little cream pipe.
