Thaw puff pastry cups as per package instructions. If you are using pastry sheets, cut them into circles. Use a smaller cookie cutter to make an impression in the center.

Alternatively, you can cut puff pastry into circles and press it into a muffin tin to shape like a cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes (350 F). You can fill these cups with the filling.

To make the filling.

In a saucepan, bring milk and 1/2 tsp orange zest to a boil or until bubbles form around the edge of the saucepan. Strain the milk and set it aside.

Pour this egg mixture into the saucepan with milk and return to the stove. Cook in low medium flame till the mixture thickens. In a bowl, mix corn starch and orange juice, and pour this into the custard. When it thickens, remove it from the stove. Stir in chocolate and whisk till smooth.
