In a medium mixing bowl add the chocolate and melt it in the microwave until smooth. I like doing this in 10 second intervals.

Once it is melted, add the water into the melted chocolate, add the spices, orange zest and stir together. Let it cool down a little before we start beating it.

In a large bowl add the ice and place the bowl of melted chocolate and water on top of the ice. Make sure the ice is touching the bowl. We start beating the mixture on low speed. This is a small amount of chocolate and we don’t want to over work it. The ice will cool down the chocolate and as we beat it we are adding air into the mixture. The cool temperature will trap the air bubbles creating a mousse like texture that will start to thicken.

Once it gets to the texture of heavy cream switch off the beater and finish with a spatula. At this stage you can add a little heavy cream and give it one thorough beating. We want it to be thick and just falling off the spatula when you lift it from the bowl. Pour into your serving dish.

This is optional but you can serve it with whipped cream, a sprinkle of sea salt, orange zest and a dusting of spices.
