Tips:

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
If you don't have orange zest, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of orange extract.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the puffs tough.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the puffs, or they will absorb too much oil.
Drain the puffs on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the puffs warm, dusted with powdered sugar, for the best flavor.
