Directions

In a small saucepan, heat ¾ cup of the cream until simmering. Remove from heat and add chocolate and sugar, stirring to melt the chocolate completely.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks until light and fluffy. Slowly drizzle in Blood Orange Olive Oil while whisking continuously.
Slowly pour chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Divide the mixture into four ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the ramekins. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Let it cool on a wire rack.
For the compote, simmer frozen berries with Pomegranate Balsamic in a saucepan over low heat until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Whip the remaining ¼ cup of cream. When serving, top each ramekin with a spoonful of compote and a dollop of whipped cream. Chocolate shavings can be added, if desired. Enjoy!
