Description

A simple, rich dessert made from cream, chocolate, and orange flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 ml heavy cream
  • 100 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Instructions

  1. Pour the cream and sugar into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the cream just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
  2. Remove the cream mixture from the heat. Add the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes to melt.
  3. Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in the orange zest and orange juice.
  5. Pour the posset mixture into four small serving ramekins or glasses.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.

Notes

  • For a stronger orange flavor, you can steep the orange zest in the cream for 30 minutes before heating.
  • Serve chilled, perhaps with a small piece of candied orange peel on top.
