Method
- Melt the chocolate in 10-sec bursts in the microwave, stirring between each, until smooth. Leave to cool slightly while you prepare the cream.
- Whisk together the condensed milk, cream and a pinch of salt until it’s thick enough to form ribbons. Spoon a third of the mixture into the melted chocolate and mix to combine. Gently fold the chocolate mixture back into the remaining cream, then stir in the orange juice and half the zest. Divide the mixture between serving glasses, then cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hrs or overnight to set.
- Meanwhile, put the rosemary sprigs in a bowl with 200ml whipping cream and leave to infuse while the mousse sets.
- When ready to serve, pass the cream through a sieve and discard the rosemary, then whisk the cream with the icing sugar to form soft peaks. Serve each mousse topped with the remaining orange zest, the orange segments, rosemary cream and raspberries. Put the biscuits and pistachios (if using) into bowls for guests to help themselves to. Any leftovers will keep, covered, for up to 3 days in the fridge.
