Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
For homemade chocolate orange,
grate the rind from 1 orange and reserve. Cut the orange in half, scoop out the flesh and discard, then line the halves with clingfilm. Melt 200 g (7 oz) gluten-free plain dark chocolate, 20 g (¾ oz) unsalted butter and the reserved orange rind in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Pour the chocolate mixture into the orange halves and leave to set in a cool place for a few hours. Using the clingfilm, lift out the chocolate halves, peel off the clingfilm and cut into 10 wedges to serve. Calories per wedge 129Nutritional Information
