Ingredients

  • 200 g 80% or higher vegan dark chocolate
  • 50 ml olive oil

  • 300 ml plant-based cream
  • 2 packets popping candy (see Note)
  • 1 blood orange, cut into segments

  • A few mint leaves, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Cut the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a bowl over a double boiler.
  2. Stir in the olive oil and a pinch of salt, then the sugar. Set aside to cool.
