Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
4 eggs, at room temperature
2 to 3 teaspoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
1 pinch salt
8 ounces VERY hot strong coffee
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
Orange peel, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate chips in a blender. Crack in the eggs, and then add the orange liqueur and salt. Pulse until the chocolate chips are partially pulverized, 5 to 7 times.
  • With the blender running, carefully pour in the coffee in a steady stream through the small opening in the lid. The coffee will melt the chocolate and turn it into a smooth mixture. Turn off the blender when the mixture is very smooth. Pour the mixture into small mason jars, pretty wine glasses or demitasse cups.
  • Place the jars on a tray and refrigerate them until firm, at least 2 or 3 hours. Yum!
  • Whip the cream with the sugar and generously plop it onto the top of each glass. Cut a strip of orange peel, cut into strips and decorate with the orange peel twists.

For the Candied Orange Peel
5 oranges
Water
Salt
2 1/3 cups sugar
For Dipping
10 1/2 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

Steps:

  • Making the Candied Orange Peel

Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside overnight at room temperature. Repeat this process three more times, over three nights, adding 1/3 cup sugar each time. Once the peel is candied, let drain at room temperature for 1 day, then cut into thin slivers. (The peel can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
  • Dipping
  • Temper the dark chocolate . Using a fork, dip each strip of candied orange peel in the chocolate, then lay it on an acetate sheet. Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped strips for 10 Minutes before detaching from the sheet. (Store in a cool place away from moisture for up to 1 month.)
