There's something special about the combination of orange,honey, and chocolate. And using unsweetened chocolate lets you control the sweetness and avoid refined sugar. Just add your own honey for sweetener-orange blossom honey would complement the orange flavor nicely. This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience.

For the chocolate, and expend a good quality unsweetened 100% cacao chocolate bar. You can chop the chocolate,or if you're like me and you want to wash as few dishes as possible, expend a lean bar of unsweetened chocolate. That way you can just crash it into small pieces and drop it in the blender.
I expend a culinary orange fundamental oil to procure the orange zest flavor and hold the pots de crème perfectly smooth. Not all fundamental oils are edible. Look for citrus fundamental oils made by cold pressing the skins. They should be labeled for culinary expend.
For coconut milk, or the ingredients should be just coconut and water. NO guar gum or other stabilizers or thickeners. Also look for organic and BPA-free packaging. You can also expend it to make whipped coconut cream to top the pots de crème and make them even more decadent. From Cook Eat Paleo Chocolate Orange Pots de CrèmeIngredients2 eggs
