Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • In a medium-sized bowl, place the egg yolks and sugar. Stir with a manual whisk until you obtain a whitish and well-integrated mixture.
  • Heat the orange pulp in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches boiling point, ensuring it doesn't burn.
  • Add half of the hot orange pulp to the bowl with the yolks and stir with the manual whisk until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
  • Pass this mixture through a fine mesh strainer directly over the remaining pulp left in the saucepan, to eliminate any possible lumps and achieve a smooth texture.
  • Stir the unified pulp and cook over low heat until the temperature reaches 82-84ºC, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the previously hydrated and well-drained gelatin. Stir until it completely dissolves.
  • Incorporate the softened butter, cut into small cubes, and stir until it fully integrates with the mixture.
  • Pour this cream over the chocolate melted in a bain-marie and stir with manual whisks until you obtain a homogeneous cream.
  • Emulsify the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth and glossy.
  • Let the mixture cool until it reaches a temperature of 30ºC.
  • Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, being careful not to overbeat.
  • Gradually fold the whipped cream in, stirring with a rubber spatula using gentle folding motions, to maintain the airy texture of the mixture.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • When melting chocolate, make sure to do so over very low heat or in a double boiler to prevent it from burning. Stir constantly to achieve a smooth, homogeneous texture.
  • To obtain well-whipped cream, ensure it is very cold before beating. Also, refrigerate the bowl and beaters for a few minutes before starting.
  • If preparing mousse in advance, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing flavors from other foods, and be sure to serve it on the same day to ensure its freshness.
