Serving instructions  

When the orange fromage is almost stiff, spoon into either a serving bowl or individual glasses. If you want to kick it up a notch, create an orange into an individual serving bowl.

To create an individual orange bowl 

Using a sharp knife, cut an orange in half.  Then remove the inside of the orange by scooping out the flesh. You now have a bowl made out of orange peel to use for the orange mousse. Now spoon in the orange fromage to the rim of the orange peel. 

Keep either the serving bowls, individual glasses or the orange bowls in the fridge until ready to serve. Decorate with additional whipped cream.  Add either an thin slice or orange peel, fruit or chocolate on top before serving. This is a fun and tasty way to present the orange fromage dessert! Chill for several hours or until firm.
