Chocolate Stick with Orange Cream

Separate the egg yolks from the whites and reserve

In a saucepan, combine milk mixed with cornstarch

Heat over low heat, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened

Add the egg yolks

Whisk until thickened, without stopping to mix

Add vanilla extract

Remove from heat and let cool, stirring occasionally to prevent curdling

Bring sugar and water to a boil in a separate saucepan

Reduce heat to low and simmer until it reaches thread stage

While that's happening, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form

Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the egg whites, beating until smooth

Combine with whipped cream

Divide the cream into 2 parts; one part adds orange juice and zest, the other part adds melted chocolate

Dip the chocolate sticks in the creams, alternating between light and dark, and use gelatin to stick them to the sides of a glass bowl, forming a design

Fill alternately with the creamy mixtures, clear and colored, and if desired, stir once more

Refrigerate for several hours before serving

Serve in 10 portions.
