How to Make Chocolate Orange Posset
- Prepare 8 small ramekins or cups by placing them on a sheet pan for easy transport.
- Rub together ¾ cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of orange zest in a bowl until fragrant.
- Combine 2⅓ cups of heavy cream with the orange sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Juice enough oranges to yield ½ cup of juice while the cream is simmering.
- Strain the simmered cream into a bowl to remove the zest, then add the strained orange juice and stir well. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes.
- Spoon the mixture into ramekins and chill uncovered in the fridge for at least 1 hour, then cover and chill for an additional 3-4 hours.
- Make the ganache by heating semi-sweet chocolate and 3 oz of heavy cream in a bowl in the microwave in 30-second bursts until smooth.
- Top each chilled posset with a tablespoon of chocolate ganache and return them to the fridge to set.
- Store the possets covered in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
