Ingredients :
* 400 ml double cream
* 0.5 tsp chilli powder
* 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1 orange, grated zest
* 400 g dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids chopped into small pieces
* 100 ml champagne, or sparkling wine
Preparation :
1. Place the cream, chilli, cinnamon, and orange zest in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring often. Choose the saucepan that comfortably holds all the ingredients, and with heat dissipater or thick bottomed base.
2. Whisk well adding the dark chocolate until smooth and glossy. Add the champagne too and mix well.
3. Pour into a decorative serving bowl and place on a large dinner plate or round tray. If you have heart shaped containers, use them too.
4. Decorate to your heart’s content before you serve. For example, you can thread a selection of brownies (cut into 2cm cubes), strawberries, marshmallows, mini-muffins and an assortment of colorful fruit (kiwis, pineapple or papaya) onto skewers or cocktail sticks. Arrange these fruit skewers around the fondue pot - for an added flourish, sprinkle with rose petals for decoration. Be creative, and give your own personal touches.
