These chocolate mandarins pair fresh citrus slices with melted dark chocolate and chopped pistachios. They make an easy dessert or snack to enjoy chilled after meals or with coffee.
Ingredients
- 20 g pistachio
- 4 mandarins
- 40 g dark chocolate (I used 70%)
Instructions
- Crush the nuts.
- Peel the mandarins.
- Crumble the chocolate into a bowl and place it over a pot with boiling water (the bowl shouldn't be touching the hot water!), creating a bain-marie. Reduce the heat and wait for the chocolate to almost melt and remove from the heat.
- Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a microwave. Add the chocolate in a bowl, cover with clean film or a plate and add in the microwave for 30 seconds at 800w. Remove, check if it has melted, if not add for additional 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Then coat half of each mandarin slice with chocolate and sprinkle some of the crushed nuts on top.
- Put in the fridge a bit in the fridge to set.
