Print recipe
| Serves | 4 |
Ingredients
- 400ml can coconut milk; this can has to be put in the fridge the day before you need to make the choco-orange mousse
- 225g dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons shredded orange peel
- 4 teaspoons orange juice
- 10 teaspoons caster sugar
Directions
| 1. | Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about two minutes; stir every minute |
| 2. | Add the orange peel, orange juice and caster sugar; stir until a smooth mixture is obtained |
| 3. | Allow the chocolate-orange mixture to cool slightly (for 5-8 minutes) |
| 4. | Take the coconut milk can out of the fridge and open it (N.B.: it will be made of a thick layer of solid coconut milk fat on top and some liquid at the bottom of the can) |
| 5. | Put the solid coconut milk (top of the can) in a mixing bowl and whip it on high using an electric mixer (N.B.: the coconut milk should be beaten until soft peaks form) |
| 6. | Add the liquid coconut milk (bottom of the can) to the chocolate-orange mixture |
| 7. | Lightly fold the whipped coconut milk into the chocolate-orange mixture |
| 8. | Spoon the mousse into individual glasses, cups or verrines |
| 9. | Refrigerate for at least 3 hour to allow the mousse to set |
