Ingredients
 

Apricot ragout

  • 50 g Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 200 ml Orange juice
  • 1 Orange untreated
  • 4 tbsp Grenadine
  • 1 Lemon
  • 100 g Raspberries
  • 300 g Apricots

Brown chocolate mousse

  • 300 g Cream
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 130 g Dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp Chocolate brown liqueur
  • 5 Peppermint leaves

White chocolate mousse

  • 300 g Cream
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 130 g Chocolate white
  • 1 Orange untreated
  • 2 tbsp Advocaat

Instructions
 

Apricot sauce

  • For the apricot sauce, let the sugar and honey melt over a mild heat (do not let them turn brown), deglaze with orange juice while stirring and reduce to a syrupy level.
  • Peel the peel thinly from the organic orange and cut into very fine strips. Add orange strips, grenadine and the juice of half a lemon to the sauce. Put in the apricots and the raspberries. Save a few raspberries for decoration.

Brown chocolate mousse

  • For the brown chocolate mousse, whip the cream until stiff and set aside. Beat the egg with water over a warm water bath to a thick cream. Remove from the water bath and keep beating until cold. (Preferably on an ice water bath!)
  • Coarsely chop the chocolate and let it melt in a warm water bath. Immediately pour into the cooled cream, add the chocolate liqueur and carefully fold in the cream.
  • Place in molds and refrigerate.

White chocolate mousse

  • For the white chocolate mousse, soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Whip the cream until stiff and set aside. Beat the egg and water over a warm water bath to a thick cream, squeeze out the gelatine and stir in. Remove from the water bath and continue beating until the cream is cold (on an ice water bath).
  • Coarsely chop the white chocolate and let it melt in a warm water bath, stir immediately into the egg cream. Rub half of the peel of the orange and add it to the cream. Add the egg liqueur and stir in.
  • Carefully fold in the whipped cream. Pour into small molds and refrigerate overnight.
  • Spread the apricot ragout on the plates and turn the mousse on top. Decorate with mint.
