Method

Put the chocolate and cream into a heatproof bowl, place over a pan of simmering water and leave on a gentle heat until the chocolate has melted. Do not allow to boil.

When the chocolate is smooth, stir in the grated orange zest, reserving a little for decoration. Pour into little pots and leave to cool and set for a minimum of 2 hours. Decorate with reserved orange zest to serve.
