  Chocolate Orange Pots Recipe  

 

Chocolate Orange Pots

Another Christmas day dessert. We broke 400g of dark chocolate into small squares and placed in a bowl with 4 tbsp clear honey and 3 tbsp of orange liqueur. We placed the bowl over a pan of simmering water and heated gently, stirring until the chocolate melted and became a smooth and glossy mixture.

We took the chocolate off the heat and allowed it to cool for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile we whisked 500ml of whipping cream until it formed soft peaks.

We then carefully folded the cream into the chocolate until smooth and then divided the mixture between small ramekins (about 6) and chilled them for about 2 hours. We served it with segments of mandarin and a dusting of icing sugar. It accompanied our poached pears and ice cream cake.
