Indulge in a refreshing and creamy delight with this simple yet exquisite recipe for orange cream chocolate. This treat is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a gathering or simply craving a sweet and satisfying snack.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup orange zest
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a heatproof bowl, place the chopped chocolate. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once set, cut the chocolate into squares or desired shapes. Serve chilled.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa percentage of 60-70%.
- If you prefer a less intense orange flavor, reduce the amount of orange zest and juice.
- To make the chocolate more visually appealing, sprinkle with chopped orange zest or candied orange peel before refrigerating.
- Store the chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
