Preparing the mousse
- Soak the gelatin in cold water.
- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until frothy, then add the orange juice and orange zest.
- Heat the mixture gently in a saucepan, stirring constantly (do not boil!), until it becomes creamy.
- Squeeze out the gelatine and dissolve it in the warm orange mixture.
- Let cool. Then carefully fold in the whipped cream.
- Pour into glasses or bowls and chill for at least 4 hours.
Preparation of the crema
- Heat milk with vanilla extract in a saucepan.
- In a bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar (and optionally cornstarch) until creamy.
- Add hot milk to the eggs, stirring constantly.
- Return everything to the pot and stir over medium heat until the cream thickens (do not boil!).
- Allow to cool. Beat lightly before serving.
Arranging and serving the Mousse de Laranja
To serve, either pour the crema over the sauce in a glass or on a plate and place the orange mousse on top, or pour the crema directly onto the mousse. Garnish with orange zest, fresh mint, or a little grated dark chocolate.
Tip : The dessert will be particularly aromatic if you use a mixture of juice from fresh oranges and blood oranges.
