CHOCOLATE-ORANGE POTS DE CRèME

Categories     Chocolate     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Valentine's Day     Orange     Winter     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups whipping cream
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons orange liqueur
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise
8 large egg yolks
7 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup cream to simmer in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; whisk until smooth. Whisk in 2 tablespoons orange liqueur. Spoon 1 tablespoon chocolate mixture into each of eight 3/4-cup custard cups. Place cups in freezer. Reserve remaining chocolate mixture.
  • Combine milk, peel and 2 cups cream in medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla beans; add beans. Bring to simmer. Whisk yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Whisk hot cream mixture into yolk mixture. Let stand 30 minutes. Strain through fine sieve set over medium bowl, pressing on solids. Whisk 2 tablespoons orange liqueur into custard.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Ladle custard over chocolate in cups. Place cups in large baking pan. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Bake until custards are set, about 50 minutes. Remove cups from water. Stir chocolate mixture over low heat until just pourable if necessary. Spoon generous 1 tablespoon chocolate mixture over each. Chill overnight. Serve cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate, thawed, plus 1/4 cup of water.
  • Make sure the eggs and milk are at room temperature before you start. This will help them blend together more smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make the pots de creme tough.
  • Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve before baking. This will remove any lumps.
  • Bake the pots de creme in a water bath. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from curdling.
  • Let the pots de creme cool completely before serving. They will firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Pots de creme a l'orange is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect pot de creme that will impress your friends and family.
