Orange and chocolate mousse

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day!? I have to confess that in my house we celebrate it a little bit ... but to take a delicious recipe like this, we are always available !! ? And if you like to celebrate this day, don't miss our recipe section for Valentine's Day!

Today's is a recipe very simple, but very very rich, although I have to admit that it is a bit "heavy", that is to say, with a little there is enough per person, unless you have a suuuuper sweet tooth; D. I adore fruit mousses and they are very nice when they are fresh. So I highly recommend it because its flavor is very good and its preparation is very easy. You just have to be careful to have 2 hours of rest so that the orange cream sits well before adding the whites. Only that!

With these amounts it gives for 4 large servings for those with a sweet tooth or 6 normal servings. And now, depending on the time you have, you can plate it more or less beautiful or more or less elaborate. From putting it all in a large bowl and serving directly to mounting it in individual glasses or glasses and top it with chocolate and candied orange. Delicious !!

On the liquor you can use the one you like the most. The one that suits you best is the Cointreau but if you don't have on hand you can use another. I, in my case, do not drink alcohol so I have chosen not to put it and the taste and texture was equally spectacular, so to your liking!

4. 

5. Let it warm and store in the refrigerator until cold, a few 2 hours.

6. With the glass very clean (blades, walls and lid), we place the butterfly on the blades. We pour the whites and salt into the glass and assemble 2 minutes, speed 3,5.

7. Mix the whites little by little, with enveloping movements and, if possible, using a silicone spatula, until a homogeneous cream is left.

8. Place the mousse in a bowl or individual glasses and garnish with the candied orange and the chocolate chips.

Notes

It should be taken very very cold, so we can put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before eating it and then decorate it with the fruit and chocolate noodles. [br]The liquor is totally optional. I haven't put it in and the flavor and texture are perfectly fine.
