Gluten-free Chocolate pot de creme with Berry Reduction and Candied Orange

very simple recipe medium time servings 6 servings 6 read the post

If you have been to Tootsie's, Rocco's restaurant, you probably have noticed these precious chocolate cups that are waiting for you in his fridge: the chocolate pot de creme!
I'm sure you know they are delicious but you might don't know they are also gluten-free! They are pretty easy to make and we wanted to garnish them with a berry cream (or as they would call it in Masterchef, a berry reduction) and candied orange peel.
The secret of this Chocolate pot de creme is - not surprisingly! - the chocolate. Choose a very good dark chocolate, not too bitter, so you don't need to add any extra sugar. The candied orange will bring some sweetness while the berry reduction will make a sour contrast with the chocolate.
Read the post of the day we made it!
