As a flavour pairing, chocolate and orange is much more divisive than it needs to be. Admittedly, it’s something I crave only during the festive season, not least because the very thought of chocolate orange in June feels criminal. This is a great get-ahead dessert made up of a light chocolate-orange sponge and a layer of amaretti biscuit that softens and gets all chewy, all topped off with a rich chocolate and mascarpone cream spiked with orange liqueur.
