Mandarin Mousse Recipes

MANDARIN MOUSSE MOLD

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Place oranges in 6-cup mold; cover with 2 cups gelatin. Refrigerate 30 min. or until set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to your finger.)
• Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining gelatin 30 min. or until slightly thickened. Whisk in 2 cups COOL WHIP until blended; pour over gelatin layer in mold.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold. Serve topped with remaining COOL WHIP.

MANDARIN MOUSSE

Steps:

• Drain the oranges, reserving the juice. Crush the oranges slightly, adding any juice that accumulates to the reserved juice, and set the oranges aside. Pour the juice in a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Pour the boiling juice into a large bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and stir with a wire whisk for 3 minutes or until it reaches room temperature.
• When the gelatin mixture has cooled to room temperature, whisk in the yogurt. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes. Stir the mixture. It should be the consistency of pudding. If it is too thin, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes.
• When the gelatin has reached the proper consistency, stir it with a wire whisk until smooth. Gently fold in first the oranges and then the whipped topping.
• Divide the mixture among five 8-ounce wineglasses, cover, and chill for at least 3 hours or until set before serving.

CITRUS MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together whipped topping and condensed milk. Gradually beat in lemon and grapefruit juices, until evenly blended.
• Pour the mousse into one bowl or divide it into individual serving dishes. Garnish with fruit, if desired.

SATSUMA MANDARIN AND VANILLA UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook mandarins in a large pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain. Arrange slices in a single layer on paper towels.
• Place 1 stick of butter in a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan. Mix half the vanilla seeds and 1/2 cup sugar, then sprinkle over butter. Place in oven until butter melts, about 7 minutes. Carefully whisk in 2 tablespoons mandarin juice.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Cream zest and remaining 1 stick butter, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla seeds with a mixer until light and fluffy. With mixer running, add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low. Add half the flour mixture, then the milk and remaining 1 tablespoon juice. Beat in remaining flour mixture.
• Arrange mandarin slices in a circle over sugar in pan, starting in the center and spiraling outward, overlapping slices slightly. (Use slices that are completely intact.) Gently spoon batter on top of mandarins, and spread evenly. Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake. Invert onto a serving plate, and let cool before serving.
