Ingredients
Scale
150g digestive biscuits, crushed
75g unsalted butter, melted
250g cream cheese, softened
200ml heavy cream, whipped
80g sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp orange zest

Instructions
Prepare the base: Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter and press into the bottom of silicone dome molds or pastry rings. Chill to set.
Make the mousse: Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and zest until smooth. Melt gelatin and mix with orange juice, then fold into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in whipped cream until smooth and airy. Pour mousse into molds and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Glaze the domes: Warm orange jelly glaze until pourable. Unmold the frozen domes and place on a wire rack. Pour glaze evenly to coat each dome.
Finish and serve: Set on biscuit bases, garnish with an orange slice and leaf. Serve chilled for the perfect citrus delight.
Notes
Freeze completely before glazing for a smooth finish
