Spiced Chocolate Budino
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
3 boxes store bought chocolate pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 small orange, zested
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Candied Orange Peel, for garnish, recipe follows

Instructions
Make the pudding according to the package
instructions. Add the cinnamon, orange zest, and red pepper flakes before chilling
in a large trifle dish. Before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped Candied
Orange Peel.

Candied Orange Peel:
1 large navel orange
3/4 cup sugar

Using a vegetable peeler, cut the orange part of the
peel from the stem end of the orange down to the navel end, forming long 3/4 to
1-inch-wide strips. Bring a heavy small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peels
and cook for 1 minute. Drain and then rinse the peels under cold water. Repeat
cooking the peels in the saucepan with fresh boiling water and rinsing under cold

water 2 more times.

Stir the sugar and 1/2 cup of fresh water in a heavy small saucepan over
medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil. Add the orange peels
and simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Using tongs,
transfer the peels to a sheet of parchment paper to dry slightly, about 1 hour.

Yield: about 10 candied peels
