Desserts

This is in danger of being on the menu tomorrow too:

Double Chocolate Orange Torte
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup blanched almond flour
¼ cup cacao powder
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
3 eggs
½ cup agave nectar
½ cup grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon orange zest
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Place ½ cup chocolate chips in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground to the texture of gravel
Pulse in almond flour, cacao powder and salt and process until well combined, about 10 seconds
Add eggs to food processor and pulse again, then add in agave, grapeseed oil and orange zest
Pulse all ingredients together until smooth
Remove "bowl" from food processor and stir in second ½ cup of chocolate chips using a spoon or spatula
Transfer batter into a well oiled 10 inch springform pan
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

OR, it could be this:

Accidental Mocha Mousse
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon organic decaf coffee beans, ground

In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate into coconut milk over very low heat
Place ground coffee beans in a melita filter and pour ¼ cup hot water over them
Stir coffee into chocolate mixture, discarding grounds
Stir in agave, then vanilla and almond extracts
Spoon mousse into small individual ramekins
Refrigerate 2-3 hours, until firm
