"The Complete Spanish Cookbook" by Jacki Passmore
List of Ingredients
6 eggs separated
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tblsp cornstarch
3/4 cup milk
1/2 Tsp vanilla extract
2 large sweet oranges
1-1/4 lb chopped semi-sweet chocolate
3 Tblsp unsalted butter
Whipped cream
Recipe
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until fluffy. Add the corn starch milk and vanilla and heat gently in a double boiler until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Finely grate the rind of one orange and add to the custard along with the chocolate. Continue to heat gently, stirring constantly until the chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter and let cool to room temperature.
Whip the egg whites until stiff and glossy and fold into the mousse. Spoon into 6 tall dessert glasses and chill.
Use a vegetable peeler to peel thin rinds off the other orange and slice into very fine shreds. Boil with 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons water until crystallized, about 5 minutes. Remove and separate with a fork and dry on a rack.
Top each mousse with a swirl of cream and garnish with the crystallized orange rind.
