Marinated oranges with cardamom flavoured white chocolate mousse

Juicy orange slices are marinated in a light syrup and topped with airy white chocolate mousse. A hint of cardamom adds a delicate, aromatic finish.

Ingredients

6 servings

1 dl sugar

1 dl water

3 sprigs of mint

4 oranges

White chocolate mousse:

2 dl whipping cream

100 g white chocolate

100 g lemon‑flavoured cream cheese

0.5 tsp cardamom

1 dl powdered sugar

For garnish:

Fresh mint

Instructions

Combine the sugar, water, star anise, and a pinch of cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Let the syrup cool slightly.

Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, removing all membranes, and slice them. Turn the orange slices in the syrup and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

Whip the cream. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a water bath. Mix the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and cardamom. Add the melted chocolate in a thin stream, mixing well. Fold in the whipped cream.

Place the marinated orange slices into serving bowls and spoon the white chocolate mousse on top. Garnish with mint.
