How to make Spooky Chocolate Orange Halloween Lanterns
I decided to make these yummy chocolate oranges, with cute little faces that look a bit like carved pumpkins. They are a perfect little sweet treat for all the family, made with just 3 ingredients and perfect for the spooky season.
I hope that you love these as much as I do. If you give them a go, make sure to let me know how you get on!
ingredients
- 250mls double or whipping cream (make sure it can be whipped)
- 125g milk chocolate
- 4 oranges
Instructions
- Place ½ the cream in a pan and bring to a simmer
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and add into the cream, whisking until it is melted through
- Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl
- Add the remainder of the cold cream, gently stirring it in until well mixed
- Cover the bowl and chill until it is really cold (at least a couple of hours and preferably overnight)
- Grate the zest off the bottom of the oranges and set aside (this will help flatten the bottom of them. If they still don’t sit flat, take a very thin slice from the bottom, making sure not to cut into the orange)
- Slice off the tops of the oranges and set aside
- With a small sharp knife remove the flesh of the orange, trying to keep the segments whole and set them aside in a bowl with the juice
- Scrape out the rest of the orange with a spoon
- Gently carve faces into the skins (be a s creative as you like but beware, it’s fiddly!)
- Remove the chilled chocolate cream from the fridge
- Add the orange zest and 4 tbsps. of the juice to the chocolate cream and whisk into peaks
- Place a spoonful of the orange pieces in the bottom of each orange
- Spoon or pipe the mixture into the oranges and top with an orange segment and the lid of the orange
