How to Make Orange Mousse With Almonds Mousse A L Orange Et Aux Amandes

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) Gas Mark 3.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 100g granulated sugar and 4 large eggs until pale yellow and creamy (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or orange liqueur and 50g finely ground almonds.
  4. In a separate saucepan, gently heat 200ml freshly squeezed orange juice until almost boiling.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  6. Slowly pour the warm orange juice into the egg mixture, whisking constantly with an electric mixer until well combined.
  7. Stir in the zest of 1 large orange using a wooden spatula.
  8. Divide the mixture evenly among 4-6 ramekins.
  9. Place the ramekins in a bain-marie (water bath) in a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the mousse is set and lightly golden around the edges.
  11. Let cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  12. Before serving, lightly dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with 20g toasted slivered almonds.
