INSTRUCTIONS
How to Prepare the Orange Sauce: Combine ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy and reduced by half. How to Prepare the Chocolate Espresso Sauce: Preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the espresso beans on a baking sheet and roast for 5-10 minutes, just until you can begin to smell their aroma. Remove beans and allow to cool. Place in a coffee grinder and grind coarsely. Place the beans in a small sauce pan with the heavy cream and bring to a boil, remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain the heavy cream through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Return the infused cream to the saucepan with the sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate and butter and vanilla and stir until smooth. Cover and keep warm until ready to use. Presentation Place a slice of cake on a dessert plate. Pour the chocolate espresso sauce around the cake and drizzle with the orange sauce.
