Orange Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

3/4 cup plus half-and-half
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, like Valhrona or Scharfenberger, finely chopped
2 oz Grand Marnier
3/4 cup half-and-half

Directions:

Combine 2 tablespoons of the half and half and mix with the arrowroot. In a saucepan warm the half and half over moderate heat. Whisk in the sugar when bubbles begin to form around the edges. Add in arrowroot mixture and whisk until contents begin to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate and Grand Marnier. Servers four as a decadent dessert in espresso cups or other small glass.

Serves: 4

Comments:

This makes four small portions. . . or two large portions. But given the sinful nature of this dessert, it is best to share in good company!
