Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt 6 oz finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp orange juice and 2 tsp orange zest until combined.
  2. Step 2: Whip 1 cup heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in 1 tsp vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
  3. Step 3: Beat 2 egg whites with a pinch of sea salt until foamy. Gradually add 3 tbsp granulated sugar while beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining egg whites until fully incorporated and no white streaks remain.
  4. Step 4: Divide mousse into 4 glasses and chill for at least 4 hours until set, allowing the citrus-chocolate harmony to fully develop.
