I'm making individual choc mousse pots for Christmas dessert and would like to put candied orange peel as the garnish but also want to add some orangey goodness into the mousse itself.Would a bit of orange juice work or not be strong enough!I can't really afford to buy a whole bottle of liqueur for just a one-off use.Tia.

Orange zest will give you an orange flavour you won't get from juice!

orange zest- from one piece will be enough- save yourself 5 bucks

Handy to know, whenever I come across a recipe with alcohol in it I just figure no point saving that recipe as I've never got whatever is required.Mini's would be handy.

Thanks all - bought orange Cointreau for $5 before reading lilyfield's post; might add a bit of the zest in there too.Quite excited, usually have to leave the liqueur out cos I never have any in the house!The mousse is fab without it so am looking forward to the doctored version.:-)

Im doing chocolate mousse to, but added orange juice and zest to make it jaffa. One of our family is breast feeding this year, so no booze in any desserts. I've got an orange jaffa to sit on top of the shot glasses, which the mousse will be in.
