Ingredients

Chocolate ganache
  • 400 g dark chocolate (53% couverture)
  • 350 g water
Orange oil
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 orange, zested
Spice mix
  • 50 g coriander seeds
  • 30 g black peppercorns
  • 40 g cardamom seeds
  • 1 cinnamon quill
  • 1 star anise
  • 15 g sugar
To serve
  • 6 g sea salt
Marinating time: 1-2 days
Chilling time: 2-3 hours

Instructions

  1. For the ganache, place the chocolate in a stainless-steel bowl. Bring water to the boil, then pour directly onto chocolate and stir until chocolate melts and emulsifies. Cool to 35˚C then whisk in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until the temperature drops to 25˚C. Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours.
  2. For the orange oil, combine the olive oil with the orange zest in a stainless-steel bowl and set aside. Allow to infuse for 1-2 days before using.
  3. For the spice mix, roast the spices on a baking tray in oven at 170˚C for 8 minutes. Grind spices in a coffee grinder. Add the sugar and pass through a fine sieve.
  4. To serve, place a scoop of ganache into a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of orange oil. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and the spice mix.
