Instructions
 

Orange Layer

  • In a medium sauce pan, warm heavy whipping cream over medium-medium-high heat until hot but not boiling.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sweetener, almond flour, salt, and xanthan gum.
  • Additionally, add 2 egg yolks to a small bowl, beat, and set aside.
  • Once the heavy whipping cream mixture is hot, add the dry ingredients.
  • Continue stirring as the sauce begins to thicken and to make sure the dry ingredients dissolve well. This could take anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on the heat.
  • Temper egg yolks: Pour a small amount of hot mixture into the egg bowl. Mix quickly and add back into the hot mixture.
  • Continue stirring for another few minutes as sauce thickens even more. After it is thick enough but still pourable (about 2-4), remove from heat.
  • Add orange extract and optional food coloring. Mix well.
  • Add to molds and put in freezer for at least 60 minutes to set.

Chocolate Layer

  • 1. In a small bowl, melt chocolate in butter in microwave (or in a sauce pan over the stove if you prefer). Stirring every 30 seconds.
  • 2. Add powdered sweetener and mix well.
  • 3. Add chocolate to top of molds until it reaches the top.
  • 4. Freeze overnight so it can set properly.
  • 5. Serve frozen and store in the freezer.
