Chocolate Orange Cremeux
Method
Preparation of Chocolate Orange Cremeux
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Cream
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and orange zest until just boiling. Remove from heat.
Combine Egg Yolks and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
Temper the Egg Yolks
Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.
Cook the Mixture
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Combine with Chocolate
Remove from heat and stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
Chill the Cremeux
Pour the mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
