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.

Steps:
- Making the Candied Orange Peel
- Wash the oranges and remove the peel with a sharp vegetable peeler, avoiding any white pith. Put the orange peel in a saucepan with 4 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 5 Minutes. Drain. Repeat this process one more time.
- Put 1 cup of the sugar and 1 2/3 cups water in a clean saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the blanched orange peel to the boiling syrup, immediately remove from the heat, cover the pan, and set aside overnight at room temperature.
- The next day, drain the peel, reserving the syrup. Add 1/3 cup of the remaining sugar to the reserved syrup, bring to a boil, and return the peel to the syrup. 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.)

Steps:
- Fill a pot with water and simmer on high heat until it reaches boiling point.
- Carefully peel the skin off the oranges and place into the pot of boiling water, stirring for 5 minutes. Drain the water and repeat.
- Carefully slice the orange peel into 5mm thin pieces. In a medium sized pot, place 500g of sugar and 500ml of water over medium high heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved and small bubbles start to form at the surface of the water. Add the orange peel pieces into the syrup, stirring for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
- Repeat this step and boil for another 5 minutes. The orange peel should be semi-translucent.
- Take out the peel and reserve the syrup. Place the orange peel on a drying rack and cover with a towel. Let it rest for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight until dry.
- Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth. Line a tray with baking paper and take the dried orange peel. Using chopsticks, take a piece of orange peel and dip it into the chocolate until half of it is covered. Repeat with all of the other pieces, then place in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Take the remaining sugar and place it on a small plate. Take the orange peel pieces out of the freezer and roll them in the sugar.
- Serve.

- Let the pots de crème cool completely before refrigerating. This will help them to set properly.
- Garnish the pots de crème with candied orange peel, whipped cream, or fresh berries. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.
