Ingredients

10 servings

  • 1 orange, zested
  • 7 ounces dark chocolate (65 to 70% cocao), chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, or more to taste
  • 6 eggs, separated, room temperature
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Grind orange zest using a mortar and pestle until it forms a smooth paste.
  • Combine chocolate, coffee, and orange zest in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly
  • Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form (see Editor's Note).
  • Add egg yolks to the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Pour over egg whites. Carefully fold together using a spatula until just combined.
  • Pour mixture into 10 small dessert glasses or 1 large serving dish. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight.
