Ingredients
1 package unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons Cointreau, Curacao or Grand Marnier
5 large eggs, separated
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
⅔ cup tangerine juice
1 cup heavy cream
Preparation
- Step 1
Dissolve the gelatin in three tablespoons warm water and add the Cointreau.
- Step 2
Place the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan and add the sugar, lemon juice and tangerine juice. Mix well, using a wire whisk.
- Step 3
Place the saucepan over very low heat (you may also use a double boiler) and whisk gently until the mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon. Do not overcook. Cool and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Step 4
Whip the cream until stiff.
- Step 5
Whip the egg whites until barely stiff (not too dry).
- Step 6
Fold the cream into the egg-tangerine mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites until barely blended.
- Step 7
Place the mousse in individual bowls or glasses or in a serving bowl. Chill overnight or for at least four hours.
This mousse can be decorated with crushed toasted hazelnuts or fresh mint leaves.
