Chocolate Orange Mousse

2 whole eggs

3 whole egg yolks

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon Grand Marnier

6 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate

2 ounces cold water

Zest of 1 Orange

Juice of 1 Orange

1 packet of unflavored Gelatin

1 cup whipping cream, lightly whipped

Whipped Cream for Topping

Beat together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until the mixture is very thick. Add the Grand Marnier.

Melt the chocolate with the water over very low heat. Grate the orange zest and add to the chocolate.

Squeeze the orange juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle the top with the unflavored gelatin. Heat gently on the stove until the gelatin is dissolved. Add the gelatin mixture to the eggs and sugar.

Fold the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar. Then fold the whipped cream into it until it is incorporated.

Pour into six individual pots or glasses and chill for at least 4 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and orange zest.
