Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Dissolve the gelatin in three tablespoons warm water and add the Cointreau.

  2. Step 2

    Place the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan and add the sugar, lemon juice and tangerine juice. Mix well, using a wire whisk.

  3. Step 3

    Place the saucepan over very low heat (you may also use a double boiler) and whisk gently until the mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon. Do not overcook. Cool and place in a large mixing bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Whip the cream until stiff.

  5. Step 5

    Whip the egg whites until barely stiff (not too dry).

  6. Step 6

    Fold the cream into the egg-tangerine mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites until barely blended.

  7. Step 7

    Place the mousse in individual bowls or glasses or in a serving bowl. Chill overnight or for at least four hours.

Tip
  • This mousse can be decorated with crushed toasted hazelnuts or fresh mint leaves.
