CHOCOLATE & ORANGE POT DE CRÈME
I have never laughed as much as when we filmed this video. I look like a crazy person who’s wolfed down chocolate on the sly (you have to see the end). I still crack up at the thought of it, even if it made me feel sick because the intense flavour was in my mouth just a little too long.
If I was super relaxed while filming, it’s because I’ve been making this recipe for ages. It’s handy for when I’m entertaining, because I can make it the day before.
If you’re not keen on the orange and chocolate combo, you can leave out the orange or replace it with lemon or lime zest.
