2 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 1⁄4 cups Chocolate Marquise (see recipe)

Caramelized hazelnuts

Chocolate Marquise:
8 oz. chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
8 tbsp. sweet butter, cut up
4 large eggs
1⁄4 cup sugar
1⁄4 cup water

9 oz. finely chopped white chocolate
1⁄4 cup orange liqueur
1 tsp. finely grated orange zest

Steps

  1. Melt chocolate; cool.

  2. Cut 10 3-in. squares of foil; trace a 2-in. circle on each square and lay foil on a baking sheet.

  3. In three batches, fold egg mixture into melted chocolate.

Yield: About 41⁄2 cups.
