bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until well chilled. about 3 hours.

Make the candied orange zests:

1. With a vegetable peeler remove only the outer orange part of the rind.

Reserve the oranges for the segments . Stack 2 or 3 of the strips together and using a large knife, cut into thin julienne strips 1/16-inch wide.

Place the julienne strips in a small noncorrosive saucepan with 1¾ cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour off the water and rinse the julienned zests with fresh water. Add the sugar, grenadine and the remaining ¼ cup water to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer zests and syrup to a small bowl and allow to cool.

Segment the orange:

1. Take the dezested oranges and using a paring knife, remove the white pith by holding the fruit in one hand and cutting down to the flesh and rotating the orange to make a continuous strip. Over a medium bowl, remove each segment by cutting with the paring knife right down to the core. as close to the membrane as possible. Let the segments drop onto a plate.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble.

Make the orange sauce:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Set aside. In a medium noncorrosive saucepan, combine the orange juice and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the dissolved cornstarch. Return to the heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 seconds until clear. Strain the sauce into a small bowl set in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir occasionally to cool. Stir in the triple sec. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.

Assemble the cups:

1. Whisk the pudding until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream. Using a spoon. place ⅔ of a cup of chocolate pudding into 12 of the cookie cups. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the orange sauce onto 6 dessert plates.
