- Crepes:
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salted Chocolate Orange Sauce:
- 9 ounces 70% dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 6 fluid ounces orange juice concentrate, undiluted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Mix milk, flour, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, eggs, vanilla and Diamond Crystal(R) Kosher Salt in a large mixing bowl until smooth and well blended.
- Melt about 1/3 teaspoon of the butter in a small skillet over medium high heat. Add about 1/4 cup of the batter to the skillet; tilt pan with a circular motion to evenly distribute batter. Cook until bubbles appear and the surface looks dull. Turn the crepe and cook on the other side approximately 1 minute. Place crepe on a plate. Repeat for the remaining crepes, separating them with a layer of waxed paper to prevent them from sticking to each other. Batter is enough to make about 16 crepes.
- For Chocolate Orange Sauce, place the cream into a medium pan and heat until very warm. Remove pan from heat. Add chocolate and stir until combined and silky. Add orange juice concentrate, vanilla, sugar and Diamond Crystal(R) Kosher Salt; stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Whip 2 cups whipping cream in a bowl until stiff.
- To assemble the cake, place a crepe on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream onto crepe; top with another crepe. Continue layering whipped cream and crepes, ending with an unfrosted crepe. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the cake before serving.
- To serve, spoon about 4 tablespoons of sauce on a dessert plate in a small circle. Slice cake into wedges. Place a wedge of cake on top of the chocolate orange sauce.
- Optional garnishes: Peeled orange sections, mint sprigs, or shaved chocolate.
