A delicate orange mousse surrounded by long ladyfinger biscuits is the perfect recipe for any fan of light sweetness.
Ingredients
For the Mousse:
- Sugar – 25 g
- Natural yogurt – 150 g
- Orange – 1
- Gelatin – 3 teaspoons
- Heavy cream (30% fat) – 80 g
- Ladyfinger biscuits – 20 pieces
For Decoration:
- Candied orange peel – 2 tablespoons
- Heavy cream (30% fat) – 40 g
Preparation
Step 1: Arrange the Biscuits Place 4 dessert rings (approximately 8 cm in diameter) on a serving platter and stand the ladyfinger biscuits vertically inside them (trim them slightly if necessary, and use the scraps for another purpose).
Step 2: Prepare the Mousse Soak the gelatin in cold water. Scrub the orange, zest it, and squeeze the juice. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the juice and mix the rest with the orange zest, yogurt, and sugar. Gently heat the remaining orange juice and dissolve the gelatin in it. Add 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to the dissolved gelatin, then combine this mixture with the remaining yogurt cream. Chill in the refrigerator until the cream starts to thicken.
Step 3: Fill the Desserts with the Cream Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the yogurt cream. Fill the dessert rings with the cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Step 4: Decorate the Desserts Remove the mini Charlottes from the dessert rings. Whip the cream for decoration until stiff and pipe it onto the top using a pastry bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Decorate with candied or fresh orange peel.
