1 orange zest

1 lemon zest

300 ml thickened cream

Steps

STEP 1

Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt on medium power for 5 minutes. Stir the chocolate every few minutes until completely melted. Set aside to cool.

STEP 2

Place the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and beat using a hand mixer for 5 minutes or until the mixture is thick and double in volume. Fold in the cooled chocolate and cocoa powder until well combined. Add the fine zest of one orange and one lemon.

STEP 3

In a separate bowl, whip the cream until thickened (be careful not to over beat). Carefully fold the cream into the chocolate mixture; try to keep the mixture as light as possible.
