How to Make Chocolate Orange Mousse
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Set aside 1 cup of the whipped cream; keep the remaining 1 cup in the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and the zest of 1 large orange.
- Gently fold in half (1/2 cup) of the reserved whipped cream using a spatula.
- Remove the mixer and carefully fold in the remaining 1 cup of whipped cream by hand until just combined. Be gentle to maintain the mousse's airy texture.
- Pour the mousse into 6 individual dessert dishes. Serve immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for a firmer mousse.
