Frozen Chocolate Orange Recipe
These pretty desserts can be made well in advance – just loosely wrap the individual frozen oranges in food bags and freeze until ready to use.
Ingredients: (Serves 4)
- 4 large oranges
- 225 g/8 oz granulated sugar
- 175 ml/6 fl oz water
- 600 ml/1 pint shop-bought orange sorbet
- 55 g/2 oz grated plain chocolate
Method:
Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until thick and syrupy. Allow to cool.
Cut a small slice from the bottom of each orange so that they are level on the work surface. Cut the top one third from the top of each orange and scrape out the fruit and pith, and discard. Thickly brush the inside of each orange shell with syrup, stand in a bowl and freeze overnight.
Working quickly, tip the sorbet into a large bowl and lightly beat with a wooden spoon to soften. Spoon the sorbet into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and half fill each orange shell. Spoon ΒΌ of the grated chocolate into each orange and fill the rest of the orange with sorbet.
Top each with a lid and serve immediately or freeze until solid.
