Bittersweet Chocolate and Orange Pot de Cremes.
I've been on a quest for the past year or so discovering/playing with/creating 'little individual - no sharing with anyone - desserts', and I discovered this little beauty.
Chocolate and Orange Pot de Cremes
Cookbook: Sunday Suppers Blog
Author: Casey Solomon
1 ½ cups of milk
2 eggs
a pinch of salt
2 cups bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp of Grand Marnier
zest of 1 orange
Bring the milk to a simmer in a sauce pan. Put eggs, salt, chocolate, Grand Marnier and orange zest in a blender. Pulse until combined. On medium speed, slowly add in the hot milk and blend for 1 minute.
Pour into individual small bowls or ramekins and chill for at least an hour.
Wow, what a dessert! This one really packs a punch and is not for the faint hearted.
It's rich, creamy, full of flavour and extremely chocolaty.
Not being a big lover of chocolate desserts, I found this a little too much for me, but in small little amounts (just a few spoonfuls), it's a dessert you won't easily forget.
Thank God for the hint of orange which really helps cut through all of that richness....just a little.
