  2. Warm the Cream in a pan with the orange zest; do not let the cream boil. Once warmed, take off the heat and allow the flavour to infuse. Add the Orange Juice to the cream just before adding to the melted chocolate to ensure the cream does not split Spelt Bread (2)
  3. Gradually add the warmed cream to the melted chocolate, make sure you keep stirring. Do not panic if the chocolate begins to split, just add a little cold cream and stir until it becomes thick and glossy again. Spelt Bread (3)
  4. Transfer the mixture into a cold bowl and place into the fridge until set. Spelt Bread (5)

    Hello! It sounds as if you do not use the Orange juice, just the zest. Is that so?
