Mini chocolate cups, available in specialty stores and some supermarkets, are fancy holders for these mini-portions of citrusy mousse. Small wine glasses or cups, or foil bonbon cups that hold about 1 tbsp (15 mL) are also good options.

- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 cans (each 10 oz/84 ml) mandarin orange sections, drained
- 2 tbsp condensed milk
- 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
- 1-1/4 cups whipping cream

Remove 30 mandarin sections to bowl; set aside. In blender, pur?remaining mandarins, condensed milk, orange rind and gelatin mixture until smooth; scrape into large bowl. Refrigerate until thickened to consistency of egg whites, about 30 minutes.
In bowl, whip cream; fold one-quarter into mandarin mixture. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate until thick enough to mound firmly on spoon, 1 to 2 hours.
