A chocolate mousse based on sour cream, beautifully presented in tangerine shells. A very simple and quick chocolate mousse recipe. The combination of chocolate and tangerines is very well regarded.

Ingredients for 4 servings

4 tangerines
100 g dark chocolate
1 egg yolk
1 small glass of tangerine liqueur
50 g sugar
1 small pot of sour cream

Cooking 10 minPreparation: 20 min

Step-by-step directions

1/Wash the tangerines, then cut a hat in each one. Using a small teaspoon while keeping a thickness of 1/2 cm, remove the pulp without damaging the skin of the fruits. Reserve the shells.
2/Melt the 100 g of chocolate in a double boiler. Mix the tangerine pulp with the sugar and glass of liqueur. Mix everything with the egg yolk. Finally, add the sour cream and melted chocolate to this mixture.
3/Fill the shells with the chocolate cream, forming a dome about 2 cm high, on which place a slice of peeled tangerine and add tangerine leaves.
Let rest for about 3 hours in the refrigerator.
Serve very cold. This not very sweet dessert is much appreciated after a good meal
The flesh of the tangerine, sweet and fragrant, is one of the least acidic among citrus fruits, but it has many seeds

Chef Patrick's Comment

Thank you for sending us this lovely recipe. You are right, you can also make the same recipe with clementines (seedless) and even with diced citron (delicious).
