Ingredients

• 250 ml Fresh orange juice
• 2 teaspoons Orange zest
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 7 grams Gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely, but do not let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the orange juice mixture from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.

Step 5

In another clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt until they reach soft peaks.

Step 6

Gently fold the cooled orange mixture into the whipped cream, making sure it is fully combined. Then, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites until no streaks remain.

Step 7

Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 8

Garnish with additional orange zest, a slice of orange, or a sprig of mint before serving, if desired.
