Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup of sugar

3 Tbsp of hot strong brewed coffee or espresso

2 eggs

2 egg yolks (save the whites for something else or freeze them)

1 cup of heavy cream, scalded (you'll need it hot so don't cool it)

4 Tbsp of orange brandy liqueur

11 ounce can of mandarin orange segments, drained (you can use fresh if you prefer but it's fussy to peel all the little segments, although your loved ones will admire your diligence)

Directions

Put chocolate chips, sugar, coffee, eggs and egg yolks in a blender.

Turn the blender on high and immediately pour in (through the little hole in the lid) the hot cream in a slow, steady stream.

Pour in the brandy and let the whole batch whiz for about 1 minute.

Pour into eight individual pots de creme dishes, or if you don't have them, use nice dessert glasses or custard cups.

Put the dishes on a sheet pan and cover the whole thing with plastic wrap.

Chill on the lowest rack of your fridge for about 3 hours or until firmly set.

Top each with a mandarin orange segment just before serving.

*NOTE: Make sure your eggs are fresh, clean and crack free because you're using them "raw".
