A Sweet to Enjoy with Your Sweetest on Valentine’s Day

(Un buon dolci da gustare con i tuoi cari)

8 Oz Bittersweet Chocolate – finely chopped

2 Large Eggs and 2 Large Yolks

¼ Cup Light Brown Sugar – packed

½ tsp Orange Zest – grated

1 Cup Heavy Cream

3 Tbs Grand Marnier

Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl, slowly,

stirring often and scraping the sides, until melted. 

Stir and let cool.

In a blender, add eggs, yolks, sugar and orange zest and blend

until foamy and light in color. About 1 minute.

Add cream and Grand Marnier and cooled chocolate and

bend until combined and slightly thickened.

Divide evenly among 4 – 6 custard cups or fancy glasses.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours

or overnight.  Before serving, uncover and let sit for about 15 minutes.

Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and maybe some chocolate shavings.

The perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day or any special day. You can substitute Framboise (a raspberry liqueur) for the Grand Marnier and top it off with a few swirls of whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

Or add 2 tsp vanilla instead of the liqueur and top with fresh strawberries drizzled

with Fragola Fabbri which is strawberries in a heavy syrup imported from Italy.  So delicious!

Then let Cupid work his magic!

BUON MANGIATI!
