Photo: Pots de Creme a L'Orange Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

YUMMMM!! this recipe was so easy but it didn't taste that way. I used raspberry instead of orange, but either would work. Everyone raved about it they wanted to hire me to cook for them thinking I must be a great chef to have made this lol. I will make this again and again. I topped it with whipped cream and a chocolate covered strawberry it looked beautiful too.

So easy and soooo good! I used Kalua instead of the Orange liquor. I also made larger portions (4, but would make it 6 next time as it is rich. Also used Cool Whip instead of fresh whipped cream. Friends ooohed and aaaahed over it!

This recipe is wonderful and rich. I took advice of others and did not make coffe quite so strong. I put into small 4 oz. ramekins and it was plenty. I added grated orange peel to the mixture. Was a great hit with everyone.
