Chocolate mousse and orange delight
Pairing dark chocolate and citrus flavours often yields amazing end results. For this pastry, we combined a dark chocolate mousse made with Single Origin chocolate Madagascar and orange. The flavour notes in the chocolate go extremely well with the bittersweet and acidic notes of the fruit. The build-up in layers is rather straightforward, but very efficient: prepare yourself for a flavour bomb!
