Ingredients
12 oz dark chocolate, or white chocolate, bars or chips, shaved if using bars
1¼ cups heavy cream
1 cup orange liqueur
orange juice, from 1 orange
orange zest, from 1 orange
salt, to taste
your choice of accompaniments
Preparation
Combine orange liqueur and orange juice in a saucepot. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Continue boiling until most of the alcohol has evaporated and is almost syrupy, roughly 10 minutes. Set aside at room temperature to cool completely.
Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to bubble at the edges.
Remove from the heat, and immediately whisk in the chocolate, orange zest, and cooled down orange syrup until smooth.
Adjust seasoning with salt to balance out the sweetness.
Serve immediately with your choice of accompaniments, preferably in a fondue pot over the lowest heat setting, or farthest from the heat source.
