200 g white couverture
250 ml whipped cream
3 tsp white gelatine powder (instant)
80 g sugar
5 tablespoons orange liqueur
20 g butter
4 tbsp. wild cranberries (from the jar)
4 tbsp. cranberry juice (red currant juice can be substituted)

2. Put the cream in a bowl, sprinkle in the gelatine powder and whip the cream until stiff.

3. Let sugar caramelize until golden. Add orange liqueur and bring to a boil while stirring. Stir in butter. Using a teaspoon, spoon caramel mixture into cherry pit-sized balls on baking paper, place a sheet of baking paper on top and cover
and roll the balls flat with a rolling pin. Fold remaining caramel mass into the couverture, let cool slightly, then mix into the cream. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

4. Mix cranberries with cranberry juice. Portion the mousse and serve with the
cranberry sauce. Garnish with caramel flakes, chocolate shavings and mint.
