The last time the public heard of Cameron Bailey, he was competing as a finalist at the Pillsbury Bake-Off last spring. (Remember his exciting last-second sprint to the judges' table televised on The Martha Stewart Show?)
Now he's back in the culinary spotlight, winning the Utah's Own cooking contest at the Utah State Fair.
Here's his winning recipe:
Orange Stick Pot du Crèmes
This rich chocolate dish is scented with
fresh orange zest and tastes just like the popular Sweet’s Orange Sticks candy.
Ingredients
§ 12 ounces, weight Semi-Sweet
Chocolate Chips
§ 4 whole large eggs, room temperature—Oakdell brand
§ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
§ 1 pinch Salt—Redmond Real Salt brand
§ 2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
§ 1 cup heavy cream—Winder Farms brand
§ 3 rounded tablespoons hot chocolate
powder—Stephens Gourmet Hot Chocolate,
Milk Chocolate flavor
§ Milk Chocolate Orange Sticks, as
needed, for garnish—Sweet’s brand
§ Whipped Cream, sweetened with powdered
sugar as needed for garnish—Winder Farms
brand
Instructions
Place
the chocolate chips into a blender. Add
the Oakdell eggs, vanilla, orange zest, and pinch of Redmond Real Salt. Turn on
the blender on LOW just long enough to incorporate eggs.
In
a pan on the stove over medium-high heat mix together 1 cup of Winder Farms
heavy cream and Stephens Hot Chocolate powder.
Stir until combined and heat just until boiling. Remove from heat.
Turn
blender back on MEDIUM and remove the circular disk from the blender lid and
very slowly pour in the hot chocolate. (It is essential that your hot chocolate
be very hot in order for the final product to be the right consistency and
texture.) Blend for a minute or so until mixture is smooth and fairly free of
visible bits of chocolate.
Divide
the mixture among ramekins or serving dishes.
Place in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 3 to 4 hours or
overnight to set.
Garnish
with sweetened Winder Farms whipped cream and pieces of Sweet’s Orange Sticks.
