Method

Mousse Preparation

1

Melt the White Chocolate

Chop the imported white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

2

Prepare Gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. Once bloomed, gently heat the mixture until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not boil.

3

Combine Ingredients

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the 300 ml of heavy cream with the granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the melted white chocolate and the dissolved gelatin while gently folding the mixture until fully combined and smooth.

4

Chill the Mousse

Pour the mousse mixture into serving glasses or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Whipped Cream Preparation

5

Whip the Cream

In a clean mixing bowl, whip the 200 ml of heavy cream along with the powdered sugar until medium peaks form.

6

Add Flavoring

Gently fold in the Grand Marnier and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until well combined.

7

Serve

Once the mousse is set, top each serving with a generous dollop of Grand Marnier whipped cream before serving.
