DARK CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE SLICES

Dark Chocolate And Orange Slices make for a deliciously simple yet sophisticated snack or dessert. The combination of citrusy, juicy oranges and rich, velvety dark chocolate creates an irresistible flavour contrast. This treat is nutritious and satisfying, packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and heart-healthy flavonoids. Dark chocolate (70% or higher) enhances the depth of flavour while keeping the sugar content lower than traditional milk chocolate. This is an excellent option for those looking for a quick, guilt-free indulgence that is naturally dairy-free and gluten-free. Whether you’re preparing a light dessert for a dinner party or need an energy-boosting snack, these chocolate-dipped orange slices deliver taste and nutrition in every bite. Best of all, they require minimal ingredients and preparation time.

TIPS

 

  • Use fresh oranges: Choose firm, sweet oranges like navel or blood oranges for the best flavour and texture.
  • Enhance the chocolate: Add a pinch of sea salt or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for a gourmet touch.
  • Chill for a crunchier texture: Refrigerating the slices will give the chocolate a crisp snap when you bite it.
  • Prevent mess: Use a fork or tongs to dip the orange slices to keep your hands clean.
  • Make a batch: These store well in the fridge so that you can prepare them ahead for a quick snack or dessert.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Nutty Coating: Sprinkle chopped pistachios, almonds or hazelnuts onto the chocolate before it hardens.
  • Spiced Chocolate: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne to the melted chocolate for an extra flavour boost.
  • Coconut Twist: Roll the dipped part in shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
  • Extra Citrus Zest: Garnish with orange or lemon zest before the chocolate sets for a refreshing aroma.
  • White Chocolate Version: Swap dark chocolate with white chocolate for a sweeter variation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Room Temperature: Let them rest at room temperature for a few minutes after refrigeration to soften slightly.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as the oranges may become too watery when thawed.
