Equipment
- 23 dessert cups
- 1 electric mixer
- 3 Mixing bowls
Ingredients
Base
- 7.8 ounces ladyfingers cca 1 per cup
- 2/3 cup cold milk
Chocolate Cream
- 10.5 ounces milk chocolate
- Pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
Orange Cream
- 5.5 ounces white chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered orange food coloring
- A few drops of orange flavor optional
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Base
- Briefly dip the ladyfingers in cold milk and break them to fit the bottom of your cup.
Chocolate Cream
- Place milk chocolate in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and pour over hot heavy cream. Stir until you achieve a smooth mixture.
- Spoon or pour the chocolate cream over the ladyfinger layer. Adjust the amount based on the size of your cup, ensuring even distribution.
Orange Cream
- Squeeze and strain an orange to remove seeds and pulp, measuring out 1/3 cup of juice. Heat the juice until it’s hot enough to melt the chocolate.
- Pour the hot juice over the white chocolate sprinkled with orange coloring. Stir until smooth, reheating gently if needed.
- Chill the mixture for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While chilling, whip the heavy cream to a soft, fluffy texture—be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold the chilled orange chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Transfer the cream into a piping bag and distribute it over the chocolate layer in the cups. Optionally, garnish with a mint leaf.
