Categories: Citrus, Dairy, Chocolate, Desserts
Yield: 5 Servings
MMMMM--------------------CANDIED BLOOD ORANGE-------------------------
1 c Granulated sugar
1 c Water
1 Blood orange; sliced 1/8"
Thick
MMMMM-----------------------POTS DE CReME----------------------------
10 oz Bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 c Whole milk
1 1/2 c Heavy cream
1/2 tb Blood orange zest
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 ts Kosher salt
6 lg Egg yolks
MMMMM---------------------WHIPPED MASCARPONE--------------------------
1/2 c Mascarpone
1 tb Honey
1 ts Blood orange zest
1/2 ts Kosher salt
MAKE THE CANDIED BLOOD ORANGE: Set the oven to
250oF/121oC and line a sheet pan with a silicone baking
mat. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water
over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until
the sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the blood orange slices and reduce to a simmer; cook
until the slices are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Using
a slotted spatula, transfer the slices in a single layer
to the prepared sheet pan. Bake until dried and crisp,
50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool completely.
MAKE THE POTS DE CReME: Place the chocolate in a blender
and set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk,
cream and orange zest to a simmer over medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sugar,
salt and egg yolks until the sugar has dissolved and the
mixture is light yellow and thick. Whisk about 1 cup of
the simmering cream into the egg yolk mixture to temper,
then add it all back into the pot. Cook, stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard is
lightly thickened so it coats the back of the spoon, 5
to 6 minutes.
Pour the custard over the chocolate in the blender and
blend until smooth. Divide the mixture between five
8-ounce ramekins, smoothing the tops with an offset
spatula, then refrigerate until chilled and set, 2
hours.
Meanwhile, make the whipped mascarpone: In a medium
bowl, combine all the mascarpone ingredients. Whisk
until the mixture holds a stiff peak.
TO SERVE: Spoon a dollop of the whipped mascarpone over
each pot de creme and stick a candied blood orange wheel
about a third of the way into the surface, then serve.
