Clare Latimer's recipe for
Rich chocolate pots with oranges

Rich chocolate pots with oranges
Quick and easy and can be made in advance. Chocolate melts very well in a microwave on high for a few seconds. Watch it and stir it between blasts. If you want to go over the top then write I Love You in orange zest on top of the whipped cream – or some other personal message!

Ingredients
Serves 2
1 blood orange
1 tsp Cointreau
100g very dark chocolate
2 free-range eggs, separated
Whipped cream
Zest of orange.

Method
Peel the blood orange like an apple with a very sharp knife and cut out the segments. Cut them in half and dry on kitchen paper. Put into a bowl and add the Cointreau. Place the chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt it.
Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Stir the beaten egg yolks into the melted chocolate.
Add the marinated orange segments and then pour the chocolate mixture into the egg whites and gently fold together with a large metal spoon.
Divide evenly between two ramekins and transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
Decorate with whipped cream and the orange zest.
