- Add in the vanilla, icing sugar, clementine juice and melted chocolate and quickly beat until everything is well combine. Don't forget to scrap the sides!
- Pipe the mousse into containers of choice. I used Ramekins for mine, cover and immediately put in the fridge to set.
Candied Clementine Slices
- In a non-stick pan, on medium-high heat, add in your water and sugar and let it come to a boil.
- Add in your clementine slices and cook until the fruit is translucent.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low heat and let the orange's sit in the syrup.
- Lay a parchment paper on the counter and carefully take out each clementine slice to dry. Make sure that each slice is separated!
- Right before serving, grab a bowl of sugar and coat each clementine slice and garnish it on the mousse with the plain whipped cream and orange zest!
