Chocolate mousse cake with bitter-orange sauce desserts recipes
Method
Step 1
Line the base of a round 23cm spring-form pan with non-stick baking paper.
Step 2
Place biscuits in a bowl. Melt butter and cool slightly then pour over biscuits. Stir to combine then press into base of the pan until flat. Refrigerate.
Step 3
Dissolve the coffee with 1 tablespoon of boiling water and place in a bowl with the chocolate and brandy. Melt over a saucepan of simmering water, then set aside to cool.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place the marshmallows in a saucepan with 100ml of the cream and cook over very low heat, stirring, until mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Beat remaining cream until lightly whipped and use a metal spoon to fold together with the marshmallow and chocolate mixtures until combined. Pour over biscuit base and return to fridge for at least 4 hours to set.
Step 6
To make the orange sauce, place the sugar and 75ml water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves; do not stir after this stage. Cook until mixture is a light toffee colour. Remove from heat and carefully add 100ml boiling water and the orange zest. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Stir in the Grand Marnier. Serve with wedges of the pie.
