Fall is one of my favorite times to create desserts and one of the best fall combinations (in my opinion) is dark chocolate and cranberry.  I love the way the richness of the chocolate works with the tart cranberries.

For The Dining Room at Woodlands Inn, I created a dish that centers around these flavors.  I have also added orange and cinnamon to tie the dish together.  The dish starts with a very decadent chocolate ganache which has been infused with cinnamon and orange.  We then add a tangy cranberry sauce (home-made of course… not from the can) and cinnamon cookies.  The whole dish is finished with some candied orange zest.
