Vanilla Yogurt Mousse With Fresh Tangerines Recipes

TANGERINE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatin in three tablespoons warm water and add the Cointreau.
• Place the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan and add the sugar, lemon juice and tangerine juice. Mix well, using a wire whisk.
• 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.
• Whip the cream until stiff.
• Whip the egg whites until barely stiff (not too dry).
• Fold the cream into the egg-tangerine mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites until barely blended.
• Place the mousse in individual bowls or glasses or in a serving bowl. Chill overnight or for at least four hours.

• 6. When ready to serve, place one meringue on each of the 10 dessert plates. Top with some mousse and a few berries. Top each with a second meringue.
• 7. Drizzle some strawberry coulis around each meringue and garnish with a few berries and a sprig of mint.
