Ingredients:
– 2 cups of fresh clementine juice
– 1/2 cup of sugar
– 2 packets of uned gelatin
– 1/4 cup of Grand Marnier
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the clementine juice and sugar. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice mixture and let it sit for a minute to bloom.
3. Once the gelatin has bloomed, stir it into the juice mixture until well combined. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Grand Marnier. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
5. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold the cooled clementine mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
7. Pour the mixture into serving dishes (such as ramekins or small bowls) and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
8. Once the mousse has set, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until melted.
9. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each serving of mousse.
10. Serve the clementine mousse with grand Marnier and chocolate immediately, garnished with fresh clementine segments or additional chocolate shavings, if desired.
