28 JUNE 2023


This recipe for ORANGE MOUSSE
looked so cool & refreshing, I wanted try it.

ORANGE


THEN I had an idea.
(Whenever I write that phrase, I think of THIS.)


Anyway, I'm sure you all know what
Chocolate Orange Gel Sticks are . . .

ORANGE
TERRY'S

. . . or perhaps you've indulged
in a Terry's™ Dark Chocolate
Orange Ball especially
during the Howliday Season.


For many years we drank a chocolate-orange coffee
that tasted EXACTLY like these two candies;
at home, when Neal made coffee with breakfast,
and at work, when BobMyFormerBoss made coffee
ev'ry morning before we opened up for business.
How wondeerful the house and the library would smell
from the grinding of the coffee beans!

When the grocery store that carried this coffee changed hands,
the brand of coffee beans also changed,
and chocolate-orange coffee beans were not available.
And none of us could remember the brand.

We've tried some purchased via the internet,
but they were never as good (and much more expensive).

To make a long story short (TOO LATE! you say),
I decided to try this combination, using an
ORIGINAL OREO™ base & layers.


Mixing station #1. . .

ORANGE

I never knew cornstarch came in such a large container. Neal found it.
By the way, in the video, the baker makes you watch every. single. juicing.
In the time it takes her to do ONE juicing by hand, I did all SIX.
I don't know why she had to show us all that;
thankfully, fast forward works fine on YouTube.


Orange juice; thank dog for TARE on this scale
(def: a deduction from the gross weight of a substance and
its container made in allowance for the weight of the container),
so I can measure everything into the sauce pan
and not have to use/clean another bowl . . .

ORANGE


Having added the cornstarch, sugar & egg
(again using the TARE button after each addition,
except for the egg which goes in last),
I whisk continuously for five to seven minutes . . .

ORANGE


Be aware that once it BEGINS to thicken,
in a few seconds, it looks like this . . .

ORANGE


While the mousse is cooling for 60 minutes (I know,
the recipe states 30 minutes, but I wanted it COLD),
I clean what I've used so far, make the whipped cream
(with the bowl and whisks that have been in the fridge),
and make the base at the ORIGINAL OREO™ processing station . . .

ORANGE


Ready to add and pat down the base for six servings . . .

Mixing station #2, after adding some orange food coloring . . .

ORANGE


The mixture became too soft for piping,
so I spooned it into the glasses instead.
Some glitter and chocolate jimmies . . .

. . . and here comes
Miss Emmie,
having slept thru
the entire process . . .
