Chocolate mousse, Caramelized oranges and raspberries

Chocolate mousse, Caramelized oranges and raspberries: This is a clever sweet, friend of the line but also of the palate. Clever because it looks so tempting and even a little’ Baroque, but in reality it is made mostly of fresh fruits, alternating a soft dark chocolate mousse. Easy to make, you will be surprised by the freshness of the Orange left to natural (I recommend, Sicilian Orange Pgi used!), with the intense flavor and creamy mousse and sour and sweet raspberries with crispy caramelized together. Then, I shouldn't say that, but served in glasses transparent is also awesome to see due to the alternation of colors and gloss of caramel. I'd suggest in case, for Valentine's day (party that I dislike, but that needs to be done…) , you had planned to organize a dinner nice, delicious but light. Let me know?

For the raspberries jacks, prepare a caramel with the sugar, letting it cook over low heat until liquid and color amber, then carefully (the hot caramel is one of the most dangerous things you can handle in the kitchen), Dip the top of each caramel raspberry in lightly greased or parchment paper and leave to cool on the silpat, the silicone mats.

Peel oranges and peel the cloves in vivo, then make them into small pieces and baste them with a tablespoon of Cointreau.

Composition of the dish: in transparent cups alternate between a first layer of fresh oranges, one of chocolate mousse (use a sac-à-poche to facilitate your work), one of raspberries jacks, then another layer of raspberry mousse and garnish with a Crown and a piece of Orange. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Bon appétit!
