✔️ Why should you try it?

• A quick and easy make-ahead festive dessert.
• Just two ingredients needed.
• Rich and indulgent.
• Perfect for Christmas.
• Egg-free .
• No-bake.

🥘 Ingredients

Just two ingredients are needed to make these delicious chocolate pots! You'll need;

• 1 x 157g Terry's Chocolate Orange - I use milk chocolate because the kids prefer that, but the dark one is great too and will give you a richer more intense flavour.
• Double Cream
• Optional extras include icing sugar to dust, and chocolate orange minis segments to decorate.

🔪 Instructions

This is about the simplest dessert you can make, but tastes so indulgent! 2 ingredients, 5 minutes, plus a few hours in the fridge to chill!

One: Chop the Terry's chocolate orange into small pieces and place in a heat-proof bowl.

Two: Bring the double cream to a simmer in a pan on the hob and immediately pour over the chopped chocolate (it's important you don't let the cream boil). Let it stand for 3 minutes without stirring.

Three: Use a metal spoon to slowly mix the cream and chocolate together. When fully mixed, pour into 4 shot glasses or similar and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. I find it's best to make them the night before so they are fully set before serving.

💭 Top tips

• Chopping the chocolate orange up into small segments allows the hot cream to melt it more easily.
• Don't be tempted to stir the cream and chocolate together until you have timed 3 minutes.
• If you can't get hold of Terry's chocolate oranges, use the same weight of dark chocolate (157g) with the zest of 1 orange instead.
• The recipe can easily be doubled to feed 8.
• Make it dairy-free by using coconut cream.

🍴 Serving suggestions

Serve the chocolate orange pots for a quick and easy dessert.

Dust with icing sugar and serve with chocolate orange minis segments for an extra indulgent treat! A dollop of clotted cream would be lovely too.

These chocolate pots are silky, smooth, and very rich so I suggest serving in small portions! Shot glasses are great if you have them, or small glass ramekins.

🥡 Storage

Store: Refrigerate the no-bake chocolate pots for up to 3 days.
