How to Make Chocolate Orange Marquise
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. This may take 5-7 minutes using a hand mixer.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Be careful not to deflate the air.
- Zest and juice the oranges. Add the orange zest and juice to the batter, along with the orange liqueur (if using). Fold gently until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
- Let the marquise cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate. This helps it set properly.
- Once completely cool, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the marquise to firm up.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh orange zest and a dollop of whipped cream (optional). Enjoy!
