INGREDIENTS

  • Fruit

    • 🍊 1 orange, zested

  • Chocolate

    • 🍫 7 ounces dark chocolate (65 to 70% cocoa), chopped into small pieces

  • Beverage

    • ☕ 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee

  • Eggs

    • 🥚 6 eggs, separated, room temperature

STEPS

1

Grind orange zest using a mortar and pestle until it forms a smooth paste.

2

Combine chocolate, coffee, and orange zest in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.

3

Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form.

4

Add egg yolks to the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Pour over egg whites. Carefully fold together using a spatula until just combined.

5

Pour mixture into 10 small dessert glasses or 1 large serving dish. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight.
