Thanks to the Stevia1:3, we can enjoy this treat with a reduced calorie intake, while keeping all the intensity of the cocoa and the freshness of the citrus.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Preparing the aromas and cream:
In a cold bowl, whip the cream together with the Stevia1:3. Once it starts to thicken, add the orange zest and the sifted pure cocoa powder to avoid lumps. Keep beating gently until firm, then set aside in the fridge.
2. Whipping the egg whites:
In another impeccably clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of Bonsalt . The Bonsalt will help stabilize the egg whites and, in addition, will act as a natural enhancer of the chocolate flavor.
3. Folding the mixture:
Fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate and orange cream. This step is the most important: do it very slowly, with a spatula and gentle folding motions from bottom to top so you do not lose the air and achieve that perfect mousse texture.
4. Resting and serving:
Divide the mousse into individual glasses and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so it sets. Before serving, garnish with a few natural orange segments or a little more zest on top.
This chocolate and orange mousse is the perfect finishing touch for a dinner with friends. Go ahead and make it, and enjoy a gourmet dessert that is healthy and full of freshness!
