Preparation

1. Dissolve the gelatin in three tablespoons warm water and add the Cointreau.
2. Place the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan and add the sugar, lemon juice and tangerine juice. Mix well, using a wire whisk.
3. Place the saucepan over very low heat (you may also use a double boiler) and whisk gently until the mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon. Do not overcook. Cool and place in a large mixing bowl.
4. Whip the cream until stiff.
5. Whip the egg whites until barely stiff (not too dry).
6. Fold the cream into the egg-tangerine mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites until barely blended.
7. Place the mousse in individual bowls or glasses or in a serving bowl. Chill overnight or for at least four hours.

• This mousse can be decorated with crushed toasted hazelnuts or fresh mint leaves.
