Frozen Orange Truffle Souffles
- 1 package gelatin, unflavored
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 5 large eggs separated, room temp.
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest grated
- 3 tablespoons liqueur triple sec, grand marnier, cointreau or other orange flavor
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
- 6 each truffles
- Wrap parchement paper or aluminum foil collars around six 2/3-cup souffle dishes and fasten with tape or string.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice and set aside until softened.
- Place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir occasionally until the gelatin dissolves, about 3 minutes.
- Set aside in the hot water.
- In a double boiler, beat the egg yolks and sugar over barely simmering water until the mixture is light-colored, creamy and warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and continue to beat until the mixture cools, thickens and forms a ribbon when the beater is lifted, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the orange zest and liqueur.
- Scrape into a large bowl and set aside.
- Beat the cream until it is doubled in volume and forms soft peaks.
- Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- Stir the gelatin mixture into the beaten egg yolks.
- Place the bowl in a larger bowl half-filled with ice and water and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture begins to thicken and mound, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of bowl used (metal chills faster than glass or ceramic).
- Immediately remove from the ice water and fold in the whipped cream.
- About one-third at a time, fold in the egg whites until no streaks of white remain; do not overmix.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of the mousse mixture into each souffle dish and place a truffle in the center.
- Divide the remaining mousse amoung the dishes to bury the truffles.
- Smooth the tops, cover loosely with waxed paper and place on a tray in the refrigerator until set and chilled, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Before serving, remove the paper collars.
- Decorate the tops with whipped cream and strips of orange zest, if desired.
- Serve chilled.
