Ingredients
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 to 3 teaspoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 ounces VERY hot strong coffee
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Orange peel, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips in a blender. Crack in the eggs, and then add the orange liqueur and salt. Pulse until the chocolate chips are partially pulverized, 5 to 7 times.
- With the blender running, carefully pour in the coffee in a steady stream through the small opening in the lid. The coffee will melt the chocolate and turn it into a smooth mixture. Turn off the blender when the mixture is very smooth. Pour the mixture into small mason jars, pretty wine glasses or demitasse cups.
- Place the jars on a tray and refrigerate them until firm, at least 2 or 3 hours. Yum!
- Whip the cream with the sugar and generously plop it onto the top of each glass. Cut a strip of orange peel, cut into strips and decorate with the orange peel twists.

HUGE HIT!!! I found some plastic shot glasses (square, about 3″ tall) and tiny silver, plastic spoons at the restaurant supply store. I piped the Pots de Creme into the little glasses then piped the whipped cream on top using a star tip. I then finished them off with a tiny sprinkle of orange zest. So stinkin’ cute!! Everyone loved them – thanks Ree 🙂
I don’t want to use the “i” word but how can Ree say that this desert needs heavy whipped cream to cut the richness? Adding more fat to fat?
I am concerned about the raw eggs. Does the hot coffee cook them in the blender?
This was yummy but just a bit too dense/rich for our taste. I made it exactly as written. Tweaks for next time would be: 1/2 cup of coffee and 1/2 cup cream (be it heavy or half & half), 2-3 TBSP of Grand Marnier (she does suggest this amount in her cookbook version of the recipe and I found 1 TBSP not to be enough at all although too much and the creme will not set). The homemade whip cream makes it even more delicious. Overall, very easy and a nice addition to the recipe box.
I am definitely going to make this! Looks delicious! Except, I’m using raspberry liquor because I hate orange.
I’ve made this in 1 oz servings for several bridal and baby showers. Even having someone make it for my son’s wedding!!! Super easy and wonderful!!! I made it with Kahlua!!
hI have made this several times and use non-fat milk in place of coffee because we are not coffee lovers
Another fabulous recipe from Ree!! Wow..made this last night it was so easy and so delicious! Instead of Grand Marnier I used Malibu Rum with Coconut Liqueur. Served it in Martini glasses and topped with whip cream out of a can.
delicious, elegant, easy and divine!
I used 6 ounces semi sweet chocolate and 6 ounce milk chocolate cause we prefer milk chocolate to dark. It was SO fabulous. Perfect for a dinner party. However, the serving size is more like 6 instead of 12. Can even be made a day ahead. This recipe will be my new go to recipe for a winner dessert. Thanks Ree:)

We are eating low carb in our household; I used Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips instead of the regular chips. This recipe is hands down THE BEST dessert and the easiest. I reviewed some of the low rated reviews and it sounded like the coffee was the problem so I justed used a nice regular blend of hot coffee. It was perfect. Instead of orange liquor I decided to try Rasperberry Schnapps which I couldn’t really taste so I will try something more flavorful the next time. Definitely use kosher salt. I could eat this entire dessert, just love how silky smooth and creamy it got. Thank you Pioneer Woman.
