Step 1. To make the mousse, imply put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
-
Step 2. Divide among four ramekins or dessert glasses and chill in the fridge for an hour or so for a thicker consistency.
-
Step 3. To make the candied orange slices, place your whole orange into a small saucepan of cold water, cover with a lid and bring to the boil.
-
Step 4. Once the orange comes to the boil, drain and rinse under cold water until cool to the touch. Thinly slice orange into 3mm thick rounds.
-
Step 5. Preheat the oven to 120ºC.
-
Step 6. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Step 7. Add the orange slices and peel, shaking the pan so the orange slices are fully submerged, then cover and simmer for 6-7 minutes, or until the sugar has started to thicken.

Step 8. Remove the orange slices and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 1 hour or until the slices are no longer sticky to the touch. Note: they will continue to dry once they are removed from the oven and cooled.
