Equipment

  • 4 small ramekins (approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter)
  • funnel (optional)
  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces quality semi-sweet chocolate (use chips, chopped bars or blocks)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • orange slices for garnish
  • whipped cream for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Grate the orange zest. Set aside.
  • Add the chocolate, sugar, eggs, vanilla, orange liqueur, and salt to a blender. Blend a few times to break down the chocolate. Remove the lid cap to make a hole in the top of the blender. Replace it with a funnel if you are using one. If not, leave off the cap.
  • Add the cream to a large microwave-safe container such as a measuring cup with a spout. Heat on high for about 1 1/2 minutes or until the cream is boiling and bubbly. (Your container should be large enough that the cream does not boil over when heated.) Alternatively, heat the cream on medium-low in a saucepan until it is boiling and bubbly.
  • Turn the blender to low and pour the cream in a stream. If you are not using a funnel, carefully pour the cream through the blender hole. Then, cover the hole and blend on high for 1 minute or until the chocolate mixture becomes smooth. The boiling cream will cook the eggs and the blender will prevent cooked egg pieces from forming.
  • Add the orange zest and blend until it is well mixed.
  • Divide the chocolate between the ramekins. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Garnish with small orange slices and whipped cream.

Notes

Ramekins

If you use very small ramekins, you can fill 6; otherwise, this recipe will fill 4 regular-sized ramekins about 1/2 to 2/3 full.

Flavors

Omit the orange zest to make chocolate pots de creme. Additionally, you can create other flavors by adding 1/2 teaspoon of an additional extract (when you add the vanilla extract). For example, use almond or raspberry extract.
