Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the gelatin and orange zest, then carefully pour in the boiling water, stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Next, add the cold water and orange juice to the mixture, stirring gently before covering and refrigerating for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to the consistency of raw egg whites.
- Once thickened, fold in the non-dairy whipped topping, whisking until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Pour the mousse into an oiled 6-cup mold, ensuring even distribution.
- Refrigerate the mold for at least 3 hours, or until the mousse has set firmly.
- For the strawberry sauce, place the frozen sliced strawberries in a blender and process until smooth, creating a vibrant puree.
- To serve, carefully unmold the mousse onto a serving plate, drizzling some of the strawberry puree on top. Garnish with additional whipped topping for an elegant touch.
- Serve the remaining strawberry puree and whipped topping alongside for guests to enjoy as they desire.
