Easy Chocolate Orange Mousse (Egg-Free)
An easy (egg-free) chocolate orange mousse recipe made with Terry's chocolate orange and condensed milk. The perfect make ahead dessert.
My egg-free chocolate orange mousse is creamy and decadent, as well as being super easy to make.
The most difficult part of the recipe is melting the chocolate, so it's a brilliant recipe to have up your sleeve, whatever your level of ability in the kitchen.
What chocolate should I use for the mousse?
I love Terry's chocolate orange, so I needed no excuses to buy a 'few' extra, for recipe development purposes.
However, if you can't get hold of a proper chocolate orange, you can use any other orange flavoured dark chocolate instead.
Don't worry if you don't normally like dark chocolate either, because when it's been combined with the cream and condensed milk, it really mellows the bitterness. My kids, who aren't massive fans of dark chocolate, gobbled them up and asked for seconds.
An added bonus with these mousses is that they are egg-free. A real winner on many levels and I know you are going to love them.
Top tips for making chocolate orange mousses
- For a boozy version, add a splash of orange liqueur instead of the orange juice stated in the recipe.
- The recipe can be easily doubled to feed a crowd, and the mousse can be served in a large dish rather than individual ramekins if you prefer.
- The mousses can be made up to three days ahead, perfect for a dinner party or even as an alternative Christmas dessert.
- For extra decadence, serve the mousses with Cornish clotted cream.
