Finely grate orange rind to make 2 tablespoons; refrigerate orange. In a food processor bowl fitted with the metal blade, place orange rind, gelatin and cold water; cover.

Cut 3/4 inch from one end of each ladyfinger; set ends aside. Brush remaining large portions with liqueur. Stand ladyfingers, cut-side down, around inside edge of a 9 x 3-inch springform pan or in a 2-quart bowl. Arrange any remaining ladyfingers and ends in bottom of springform pan or bowl, fitting pieces together.

Gently scrape whites into a small bowl with a rubber spatula. Add whipping cream to food processor bowl; cover. Process for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until stiff. Remove gelatin mixture from freezer and beat with a wire whisk until smooth. Fold in egg whites and whipped cream until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan or dish and smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.

Remove membrane from orange with a serrated knife and slice orange thinly. Drain on paper towels. Arrange in a decorative design on the top of the orange cream. Garnish with mint and remove outer ring of springform pan; cut into wedges or spoon from bowl.
