    List of Ingredients




    1/2 stick butter, unsalted
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    5 Tbsp. orange juice
    3/4 cup Cointreau liqueur
    1 cups heavy cream
    2 oranges supreme, cut into wedges
    4 Tbsp. condensed milk
    2 tsp. orange zest
    4-1/2 cups shredded coconut
    3 Tbsp. glucose
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1-1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus additional for dusting
    4 eggs
    3-1/2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
    1-1/2 cups cocoa powder
    1/2 cup espresso
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Recipe



    In a small saucepan over medium heat butter, brown sugar, 1 Tbsp. orange
    juice and 1/2 cup Cointreau to a hard boil. After 5 minutes, add 1 cup
    heavy cream; boil 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool.

    Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. Grease a small muffin pan, then dust with
    sugar; set aside. Over a double boiler combine 2 eggs and 1/4 cup sugar.
    Using a wire whisk, continuously beat the egg and sugar mixture until
    the color lightens and the foaming diminishes. Remove pan from heat.

    In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate, cocoa powder, 1/4 cup Cointreau
    and coffee over a double boiler until well blended. Add the chocolate
    mixture to the sugar-egg mixture. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and vanilla
    extract; mix well. Pour batter into muffin tin, filling each muffin cup
    three-quarters of the way. Place pan in a water bath, then place both
    pans in the oven. Cook 20 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from the oven, then
    turn muffin tin upside-down on a flat surface that has been covered with
    waxed paper.



    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine orange zest, 4
    Tbsp. orange juice, 2 cups shredded coconut and condensed milk; stir to
    thoroughly combine. Place mixture into small doughnut or savarin molds
    coated with a nonstick cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes or until golden
    brown. Remove pan from the oven and turn upside-down as soon as the pan
    comes out of the oven. Set aside to cool.

    Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups
    shredded coconut, flour, glucose, 1 cup sugar and 2 eggs. Using a wooden
    spoon, stir mixture to combine. Spread the mixture very thinly onto a
    Silpat or nonstick baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick
    cooking spray. Place pan in the oven; bake until golden brown - about 8
    to 10 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and let cool. To make shapes
    with the tuile, you must do it immediately after it comes out of the
    oven. The tuile should become crispy once cooled.

    Place the coconut pudding in the center of the plate. Top with the
    chocolate torte. Arrange orange supremes are on top and around the
    dessert. Spoon the sauce over the torte and tuile. This dessert is best
    served warm.

    Makes 6 to 8 servings.
