La Cocotte Verte

Individual almost-flourless chocolate cakes with delectably oozy centers, paired with magenta-pink blood orange granita and créme chantilly. The tastes and textures combine in wonderful ways: intense dark chocolate, fluffy on the outside and molten on the inside; tangy, crystal-crunchy granita, and rich, lightly sweet cream.

A wonderful garnish for anything chocolate! Be sure to use organic oranges with smooth, brightly-colored rinds. Because the peels are so thinly cut, and used in small quantities as a garnish, they are not blanched to remove bitterness.
