Chocolate-Tangerine Pots de Crème
Tangerines lend their distinct taste to this rich custard dessert. Their bright, fragrant zest perfumes an intense dark-chocolate custard, while the tangy juice perks up a vanilla mixture. The two are swirled together to create a wonderful contrast in color as well as complementary tastes.
