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

For the chocolate, use 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, use a thin bar of unsweetened chocolate. That way you can just break it into small pieces and drop it in the blender.
I use a culinary orange essential oil to get the orange zest flavor and keep the pots de crème perfectly smooth. Not all essential oils are edible. Look for citrus essential oils made by cold pressing the skins. They should be labeled for culinary use.
For coconut milk, 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 use it to make whipped coconut cream to top the pots de crème and make them even more decadent.
