A rich chocolate and zesty orange pudding with a hidden creamy custard base… utterly irresistible served with vanilla ice cream.
Chocolatier’s Tip
For added orange flavour, chop 60 g of our EXCELLENCE Orange Intense Dark Chocolate, instead of our EXCELLENCE 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate, and stir into the batter just before baking.

Method
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan/Gas 4. Lightly grease a large oven-proof dish and set into a deep roasting tin.
Step 2.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter, flour, 130 ml fresh orange juice, orange zest, double cream, golden caster sugar and egg yolks until combined.
Step 3.
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted chocolate with the remaining 60 ml fresh orange juice until smooth and glossy.
Step 4.
Stir the orange infused melted chocolate into the batter and mix until combined.
Step 5.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites until you have soft peaks. Gently fold into the batter.
Step 6.
Stir in the chopped dark chocolate (see Tip) until evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Step 7.
Spoon into the prepared dish and transfer the roasting tin into the oven. Fill the tin with enough hot water to come half-way up the sides of the dish.
Step 8.
Bake for around 15-18 minutes until just set on top (the exact time will depend on the size and shape of your dish). Remove from the water bath and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
Step 9.
Serve warm drizzled with melted chocolate, curls of orange peel, slices of fresh orange and a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream.
