Ingredients
 

  • 200 g Cream cheese
  • 100 g Amarettini almond biscuits
  • 5 Pc. Oranges
  • 4 tbsp Sugar
  • 100 g Dark chocolate
  • 60 g Butter
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 2 Pc. Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Food starch
  • Cream

Instructions
 

  • For the amarettini cream, finely chop the amarettinis in a blender. Then add the cream cheese and mix. If the cream is still too firm, you can dilute it with a dash of cream or a dash of amaretto. Then put the cream in the cold.
  • A part of the oranges is cut off at the top. Cut into the pulp with a filleting knife and scoop out the oranges with a spoon. It is important that remnants of the pulp remain in the orange.
  • Let the 4 tablespoons of sugar caramelize in a saucepan, deglaze with triple sec and add the pulped oranges. Let the whole thing boil down briefly, thicken with cornstarch and pour through a sieve. The sauce should be cold when served.
  • For the cake, melt the chocolate with the butter. Beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Add the melted chocolate and keep stirring. Then fold the flour into the mixture.
  • Now the oranges are 3/4 filled with the batter. Leave the oranges in the oven at 160 degrees top and bottom heat for about 35-40 minutes. If you don't want a liquid core, you can extend the baking time accordingly.
