Orange Mousse

This is from my Special Diet Cookbook for Multiple Sclerosis which has recipes beneficial to the dietary needs of People with MS. A variety of low-fat soft cheese are available and can be used in many different recipes, including the preparation of quick desserts such as this one. Suitable varieties to use are quark, fromage frais, cottage cheese(though this does not have the smooth texture of the others) and riccota, an Italian soft cheese.
