Chocolate and orange yumness

So I've been internetless and unexpectedly away from home for a while. I've got so much pent-up blogness to unleash... Here goes!

I made these awesome cups of yumness a few days ago. Wasn't expecting them to be quite as rich as they were, but that's not a bad thing. They're great for dessert, served hot with ice-cream, cream or custard. The texture is amazing: they're firm on the outside and soft on the inside with a marshmallowy kind of feel (due to the whipped egg whites, i reckon). I love the orangey taste and the bits of orange rind.

Here's the recipe from Epicurious, a great site for all sorts of recipes:
