Ingredients

  • 300g dark chocolate (72%), roughly chopped
  • 700ml double cream
  • 3 easy peelers (scrubbed), zest of all, juice of 1, fruit of 2
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar, plus 1 tsp
  • 1 tbsp Cointreau

Method

  1. Put the chocolate and 300ml cream in a heatproof bowl set over but not touching a pan of simmering water. Heat gently, stirring, until melted. Remove from the heat and stir through 200ml cream and the zest. Divide between 8 glasses, cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight. Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.

  2. When you’re ready to serve, segment 2 easy peelers. In a small pan, mix 3 tbsp sugar and the juice of the remaining easy peeler. Cook over a medium heat, swirling but not stirring, for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is frothing and has reduced. Remove from the heat and add the Cointreau (it will bubble and burn off in about a minute). Stir through the easy peeler segments and set aside to cool.

  3. Use a balloon whisk to whip the remaining double cream to soft peaks, then add the remaining sugar and a pinch of salt. Top each glass with a dollop of the whipped cream, a few easy peeler segments and a little of their sauce.
