Jamie Oliver’s chocolate orange creme brulee
Serves 2 (plus 2 leftover puds)
Ingredients
- 100ml double cream
- 300ml semi-skimmed milk
- 100g dark chocolate (70%)
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 80g golden caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 orange (zest finely grated)
- Seasonal berries, to serve
Method
- Get ahead and pour the cream and milk into a non-stick pan, snap in the chocolate, and place on a medium-low heat until the chocolate has melted, whisking regularly.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly while you separate the eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the yolks (freeze the whites to make meringues another day) with the sugar and the finely grated orange zest until pale and fluffy.
- Now, whisking constantly, gradually pour in the chocolate mixture until combined.
- Return to the pan and place over a low heat, then very gently bring to a simmer, whisking constantly for about 10 minutes, or until you have a custard-like consistency.
- Divide between four small heatproof cups or two sharing bowls, then cool, cover and leave to set in the fridge overnight.
To serve: Sprinkle a little sugar over two of the puds, then melt it under a hot grill or using a blowtorch. Serve with orange segments, berries or cherries. The two extra puds will keep for up to five days in the fridge – if you can wait that long!
