Instructions: How to Prepare the Orange Sauce:
Combine ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy and reduced by half. How to Prepare the Chocolate Espresso Sauce:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 F.

2. Place the espresso beans on a baking sheet and roast for 5-10 minutes, just until you can begin to smell their aroma. Remove beans and allow to cool. Place in a coffee grinder and grind coarsely.

Place the beans in a small sauce pan with the heavy cream and bring to a boil, remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes.

3. Strain the heavy cream through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl.

Return the infused cream to the saucepan with the sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate and butter and vanilla and stir until smooth.

4. Cover and keep warm until ready to use.
