Welcome spring! Orange mousse served in the plant pot! How great and delicious! The Chef’s favorite published in the Chef’s Handyman food blog!
None of the guests would expect the dessert served in a plant pot! What a surprise! Your guests will be amused and delighted.
In the middle of the pot, an orange mousse can be explored. Marzipan flowers are great for decoration. During summer season, marzipan flowers can be substituted by eatable flowers.

Beat the cream. Add vanilla sugar, grated orange rind and mascarpone. Peel and fillet the oranges. Cut them in pieces. Combine 2 tbsp. of the pieces with the mascarpone mixture. Place the remaining oranges in a bowl. Sprinkle them with orange blossom water.
Break lady finger cookies in pieces. Place them on the bottom of the plant pots. Sprinkle with caramel syrup. Add orange pieces on top. Finish with the orange mousse. Cool the mousse for 1-2 hours in the fridge.
Before serving, cover mousse with chocolate sprinkles. Form flowers with marzipan. Garnish dessert with salad leaves and marzipan flower.
