A milk chocolate mousse is mild, creamy and takes on other flavours well. If chocolate and orange as a pairing is your thing (like it is mine), then you will adore this simple mousse recipe. Because of the gelatin, it also has a nice set should you choose to use it as a filling for a cake. I like to serve this mousse in individual footed glasses.
== Recipe Information ==
Makes six 6 oz (180 mL) desserts
Prep Time: 15 minutes plus chilling
Cook Time: 5 minutes
== Ingredients ==
10 oz (300 g) milk baking/couverture chocolate, chopped
½ tsp (1.5 g) gelatin powder
½ cup (125 mL) 2% milk
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream
2 Tbsp (30 mL) orange liqueur
== Steps ==
1. Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl placed over a pot filled with an inch of barely simmering water, stirring gently until smooth. Remove the chocolate from the heat.
2. Soften the gelatin and combine with the chocolate. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold milk in a saucepan and whisk in to soften. Add the orange zest and heat the milk on medium-low, whisking until the gelatin dissolves and the milk is warm. Gently whisk the warm milk into the melted chocolate until combined. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. Whip and fold in the cream. Using electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream to a soft peak on high speed. Fold the cream into the chocolate in 2 additions. Fold in the orange liqueur—the mousse will be fluid. Pour or ladle the mousse into dessert coupes or other serving glasses and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
The mousse will keep, covered with plastic wrap, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
