Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 ounces dark chocolate chips, or finely chopped chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream or double cream, divided
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Triple Sec or other orange liqueur
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- Orange zest
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl or over a double boiler. This amount only takes about 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir until smooth and allow to cool slightly.
- Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream along with a pinch of salt until it's stiff but still smooth. Halfway between soft peaks and stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream.
- Add a third of your cream mixture into your melted chocolate and fold to combine. You can be a bit more rough here.
- Gently fold the remaining cream into the chocolate, working in two batches. It may not stay perfectly smooth, but it will still taste great.
- Finally, stir in the Triple Sec and orange juice.
- Divide your mousse between four small or two medium cups and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- When ready to serve, whip your remaining cream. Add a spoonful of sugar if you prefer it sweetened. All you have to do is whisk it until you reach stiff peaks.
- Top each of the cups with a dollop of whipped cream and some orange zest.
