How to make Chocolate Orange Mousse

Set aside strawberries and cast out cherries; it’s time for orange mousse to deliver a decadent dessert this Valentine’s day. Our easy chocolate orange mousse is perfect for anyone feeling… adventurous this year.

What you'll need:

For the Mousse:

100g dark chocolate, chopped
1 orange, zested
400ml double cream

For the Garnish:

Orange zest
Chocolate shavings

Method:

Melt the chocolate with the orange zest in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, or alternatively in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl on a medium setting in 20-30 second intervals. Set aside to cool.
Whip 300ml of the double cream until you have soft peaks, then carefully fold in the cooled chocolate mixture.
Divide the mousse between 6 small glasses or ramekins.
Whip the remaining cream to soft peaks and spoon over the mousse. Garnish with orange zest and chocolate shavings to serve.
Serve and enjoy your chocolate orange mousse!

Tips & Tweaks

We prefer our easy chocolate orange mousse recipe with dark chocolate, but for a lighter, silkier chocolate mousse feel free to swap out dark cholate for milk chocolate.
