Dark Chocolate and Orange Pot de Crème
This Dark Chocolate and Orange Pot de Crème is a luxurious dessert that combines rich, velvety chocolate with the bright zest of orange. In just 20 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking, you’ll create a silky-smooth custard that’s as indulgent as it is elegant.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- dairy-free whipped cream (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Set 6 small ramekins or teacups on a small tray and set aside.
- Place the chocolate in a medium-sized bowl.
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the coconut milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, orange zest, and salt and whisk to combine.
- Stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
- Once thickened, pour the hot egg mix over the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth.
- Pass the chocolate mix through a strainer to make it smooth. Let this sit without stirring for 5 minutes.
- Evenly divide the custard between the ramekins and refrigerate until chilled and firm.
- Serve cold, topped with non-dairy whipped cream and extra orange zest if desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
