Description
A two-ingredient chocolate orange mousse, made simply with dark chocolate and orange juice. Using the method developed by Hervé This, the end result is a low-sugar light and creamy dark chocolate mousse with a hint of orange.
Ingredients
- 150 grams (~1 cup) good quality dark chocolate 70% or higher
- 120 ml (½ cup) orange juice freshly squeezed if possible
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and place into a heat proof bowl, along with the orange juice, over a small saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring gently with a whisk, until the chocolate has completely melted.150 grams (~1 cup) good quality dark chocolate, 120 ml (½ cup) orange juice
- Fill a large mixing bowl with ice and place the smaller bowl with the chocolate mixture into it. Whisk rapidly by hand for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mixture resembles softly whipped cream. It will start out very thin but gains volume quickly near the end. If you over mix, the chocolate will become grainy, but if it does, you can simply reheat it and start again.
- Immediately transfer the mousse into small bowls or glasses and top with a little coconut whipped cream or yogurt, orange zest, or pomegranate. This is best served immediately.
Notes
Storage: this is best served immediately after whipping, but it can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for one day.
