Ingredients

200 ml double cream
157 g chocolate orange - plain

Optional

30 ml orange liqueur - optional

Instructions

Pour the cream into a small pan and heat gently, until it is just simmering.
Whilst it is heating chop up the chocolate orange into pieces.
200 ml double cream
Remove from the heat, add the chopped chocolate orange and stir until it has melted.
If needed return the pan to the stove top and very gently heat on the lowest setting until the chocolate has properly melted.
157 g chocolate orange
If using add the orange liqueur and stir it in.
30 ml orange liqueur
Divide the orange chocolate cream mix equally between your ramekin dishes or shot or verrine glasses.
If using a glass I like to use either a jam funnel, or transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a jug so you can easily pour it in and not leave drips on the side of the glass.
Put in the fridge to chill and set for at least 2-3 hours. I like to make them the day before and leave overnight.

Notes

This is far better made using a plain chocolate orange for both texture and flavour.
If you do prefer a milk chocolate orange then the set will be far softer.
No chocolate orange - no problem. Use regular dark chocolate and grate in the zest of an orange with a fine microplane style grater.
The orange liqueur is optional. If not using the pots will have a firmer set.

Storage

Fridge - keep in the fridge for up to 3 days

Freezer - these freeze well, cover well so they are airtight - defrost overnight in the fridge. Serve with a drizzle of liquid cream to hide any cracks.
