Whiskey Oranges

This recipe was taken from a 1999 issue of the Whiskey Lovers magazine.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sugar
5/8 cup milk
2 eggs, separated
6 oranges, halved
3 tsp gelatine
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 1/2 Tblsp whiskey
5/8 cup whipping cream
2 Tblsp whiskey
24 fresh bay leaves

Boil the milk and sugar together until thick; a drop from the side of the spoon should leave a slight thread. Gradually add the milk mixture to the yolks and beat to a mousse. Squeeze the juice from the oranges and scrape the insides of the skins so that you have 12 nicely shaped empty half orange shells. Discard the pith. Dissolve the gelatine in a little of the orange juice in a cup or bowl over boiling water. Blend carefully with 5/8 cup remaining juice. Cool. Add the dissolved gelatine mixture along with whipped cream and whiskey to egg yolk mixture. Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold them in as well. Fill the orange halves heaping high and freeze for 2 hours. Just before serving, combine the 5/8 cup whipping cream and whiskey and decorate the filled orange halves with this and the bay leaves.
