Ingredients

• 240 ml Fresh orange juice
• 2 teaspoons Orange zest
• 60 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
• 60 ml Cold water
• 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 20 grams Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine fresh orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Allow the orange mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep chilled.

Step 6

In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooled orange mixture into the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the volume.

Step 8

Next, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the orange-cream mixture in thirds, maintaining the light, airy texture.

Step 9

Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with orange segments, additional zest, or a sprig of fresh mint before serving.
