Wow! I'm not sure where I'd serve this, but I bet I could eat TONS of it, lol. Beautiful recipe.

I like the addition of the orange. Do you use a Microplane to zest the orange? I find that this allows you to get all of the flavor and none of the bitter orange pith. The Microplane is one of the greatest tools you can have in the kitchen, and it isn't even really a kitchen tool.

In place of, or in addition to, the orange, you could slip in a little Citrónge (Mexican orange liqueur), orange Cointreau, or even some Orange Curaçao. I mean, you're already using champagne, so why not go completely off the deep end?


The first time I had this was on a cruise. Now I have the recipe so I can enjoy this wonderful creation at home.
