Gently fold the cream, then the egg whites, into the mixture. Fill champagne or wine glasses with the mousse, cover with plastic film., and let chill for 6 hours or more. When ready to serve, top with dabs of sweetened, whipped cream to which a little grated orange peel and a good dash of Grand Marnier has been added.
