Instructions:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the 1/2 cup of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
- Once the gelatin has bloomed, add it to the hot orange juice mixture. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This may take about 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled orange juice mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the orange and cream mixture, being mindful not to deflate the airy texture.
- Spoon the mousse mixture into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm.
- Once set, garnish with a sprig of mint, a slice of orange, or a light dusting of cinnamon if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing orange and cinnamon mousse!
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a tablespoon of orange zest to the mousse mixture.
- Ensure your heavy whipping cream is very cold before whipping to achieve maximum volume.
- To avoid lumps, sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the water and let it bloom for a few minutes before heating.
- Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream and egg whites into the orange mixture to keep the mousse light and airy.
- Allow the mousse to chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator to set properly before serving.
This Orange and Cinnamon Mousse is a sophisticated dessert that is both refreshing and indulgent. Simple to prepare yet impressive in presentation, it's an ideal way to end any meal. Serve chilled and enjoy the unique combination of citrus and spice that will leave everyone craving for more.
