Orange Mousse

Three ingredients. That's all it takes to make this floating on air Orange Mousse! It's lighter than a feather and like most of my desserts, it's low sugar too. Known as a 'Creamsicle' by some, this Orange Mousse will resurface some old memories and hopefully create some new ones.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 oz orange juice
  • 10 oz whipping cream
  • 3 tsp corn starch

Instructions

  1. Whip the cream. It will whip quicker if the bowl is cold. Stop when stiff peaks appear.
  2. Add about 1 tbsp of juice to the cornstarch to make a slurry. Make sure it is well blended and there are no lumps.
  3. Place the remaining orange juice into a pot and bring to a gently boil over a medium heat. 
  4. Once the juice begins to form bubbles, immediately pour in the corn starch slurry and whisk to prevent lumps forming. Once thickened (after about 1 minute,) remove from heat. 
  5. Place a tablespoon of the thickened orange juice into the bottom of a glass serving dish.
  6. Pour the remainder of thickened juice into the bowl of cream and gently fold the juice into the cream. For a good explanation how to fold see my recipe of Eggnog Cranberry Cheesecake.
  7. Once the Orange Mousse has been made, transfer it from the bowl to a piping bag and pipe it into the glass dishes.
  8. Optional: prepare a garnish using candied orange peel. Remove the peel from a washed orange. Cut strips of peel. Cut the white part off, that's the pith and it is bitter. Mix 1 tsp sugar with 1 tsp boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Dip each orange strip into the hot sugary water and then into sugar. Leave the strips to air dry. Gently brush off excess sugar. Twist the strip and lay 1 on each glass dish of Orange Mousse.
