Instructions

   Time: PT10M

2. Make Orange Jelly

   In a saucepan combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup orange juice. Heat until sugar dissolves, then sprinkle gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water and let bloom 5 minutes. Stir gelatin into the hot juice until fully dissolved. Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate 30 minutes to set.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Whip Orange Mousse

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 2 egg whites. Using a whisk or hand mixer, whip until light and airy, forming soft peaks. Fold in 1 tsp orange zest. Chill for at least 20 minutes.

   Time: PT20M

4. Bake Vanilla Cake

   Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl combine melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, milk, orange blossom water, and the remaining orange juice. Add wet ingredients to dry, mix until just combined. Pour into a greased 8‑inch round pan lined with parchment. Bake 25‑30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a rack.

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Prepare Rice Pudding

   Rinse 1/4 cup short‑grain rice. In a small saucepan combine rice, 1 cup milk, 2 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer 15‑20 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice is soft and mixture is creamy. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature.

   Time: PT25M

   Temperature: Medium heat

6. Make Crispy Orange‑Rind Crepe

   Combine 1/4 cup flour, 1 egg, 2 tbsp milk, and a pinch of salt to form a thin batter. Heat a non‑stick skillet, melt 1 tsp butter, and pour a thin layer of batter, swirling to coat the pan. Cook 1 minute per side until lightly golden. While still warm, brush the crepe with melted white chocolate and sprinkle finely grated orange zest. Let cool and crisp on a rack.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: Medium heat

7. Assemble the Dessert

   Cut the set orange jelly into small cubes. Slice a piece of vanilla cake. Place a spoonful of rice pudding on a serving plate, top with a slice of cake, a dollop of orange mousse, a few jelly cubes, and a strip of crispy orange‑rind crepe. Drizzle any remaining white chocolate over the top. Serve immediately.
