Hot Chocolate Affogato With Candied Orange Peel

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:

200ml cream 

200g dark chocolate (at least 70 per cent cocoa solids), either nibs or chopped in pieces 

Zest of 1 orange 

100ml strong espresso coffee 

8 scoops good quality vanilla ice cream 

8 strips of candied orange peel 


METHOD:

1. Place the cream, dark chocolate, espresso coffee and orange zest in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir until the cream and chocolate are melted together. 

2. Put two scoops of vanilla ice cream in chilled glasses, and place on a saucer ready with a spoon and two strips of candied peel. Pour the chocolate and coffee sauce into a warmed jug. 

3. Bring everything to the table and assemble the affogato in front of everyone — the ice cream will melt once you pour on the sauce, so it looks great. Pour the hot chocolate and espresso sauce over the ice cream and place two strips of candied orange peel on top.
