Chocolate + Orange + Cookbook Challenge Cup Theme = Bittersweet Chocolate and Orange Pot de Cremes.

I've been on a quest for the past year or so discovering/playing with/creating 'little individual - no sharing with anyone - desserts', and I discovered this little beauty.

Chocolate and Orange Pot de Cremes

Cookbook:  Sunday Suppers Blog  Author:  Casey Solomon

1 ½ cups of milk | 2 eggs | a pinch of salt | 2 cups bittersweet chocolate, chopped | 2 tbsp of Grand Marnier | zest of 1 orange |

1. Bring the milk to a simmer in a sauce pan. Put eggs, salt, chocolate, Grand Marnier and orange zest in a blender.
2. Pulse until combined. On medium speed, slowly add in the hot milk and blend for 1 minute.
3. Pour into individual small bowls or ramekins and chill for at least an hour.

Wow, what a dessert! This one really packs a punch and is not for the faint hearted.

It's rich, creamy, full of flavour and extremely chocolaty.

Not being a big lover of chocolate desserts, I found this a little too much for me, but in small little amounts (just a few spoonfuls), it's a dessert you won't easily forget.

Thank God for the hint of orange which really helps cut through all of that richness....just a little.
