Ingredients

1l double cream

200g caster sugar

200g egg yolks

200g dark chocolate

1 orange zested

Method

1. Heat cream in a saucepan on a low/medium heat
2. Whisk together the caster sugar and the egg yolks to combine. Add these to the pan with the heated cream and allow to cook until it starts to thicken.
3. Add the zest of one orange and the chocolate until it has completely melted and all of the ingredients are well combined.
4. Pour into individual moulds and allow to cool. These can be left in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
5. When the time is right and you’re ready to serve up, sprinkle each of the moulds with a light dusting of caster sugar and then you are ready for the exciting bit… the blow torch! Blow each of the moulds lightly so the sugar starts to melt but not burn it should be gorgeous golden in appearance. Use the back of your spoon to crack the sugar and tuck in!
