CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE SAUCE

This chocolate and orange sauce is from my eggy bread breakfast recipe, but it's also great with most puddings. The magical pairing of chocolate and orange - you don't need a lot as the double cream makes this quite rich but so moreish! I suggest leaving the sauce to cool before trying, but this hasn't always been achieved in my house.
