How to Make Chocolate Oranges
- Cut 2 large oranges in half crosswise. Using a spoon, carefully remove the pulp and segments, reserving the juice (optional: save the juice to add a tablespoon to the chocolate mixture for extra orange flavor).
- Melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick (about 5 minutes). Gently stir in the orange liqueur (if using).
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture. Then, carefully fold in the whipped cream, and finally, fold in the stiff egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place the orange halves cut-side up in a muffin tin or small ramekins to support them. Spoon the chocolate mixture evenly into the orange halves. Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- To serve, carefully remove the chocolate-filled orange halves from the freezer. Cut each half in half again. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a dollop of extra whipped cream, if desired.
