Chocolate Chipotle Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Set it aside

Lamb Chops

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Place lamb chops in hot oil and cook on each side for approximately 3 minutes

Brush each side of lamb chops with chocolate chipotle sauce before serving with rice pilaf and steamed vegetables in a hot water bath, and combine GALAXY Chocolate and butter. Keep there until fully melted

Separate the eggs into two bowls - one with yolks and the other with whites.

In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place 8 egg yolks, orange extract, vanilla extract, and half the sugar; beat at high speed with the paddle attachment until eggs and sugar are creamed together, creating a pale-yellow smooth paste. Once this smooth paste is achieved, blend in chocolate on medium speed; set aside

In a separate bowl, add 8 egg whites, salt and 2 tablespoons sugar; whip until it forms medium-stiff peaks

In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream with the rest of the sugar until it forms semi-stiff peaks. Fold into the chocolate/egg yolk mixture. Fold in egg white mixture
