300 g Dark chocolate
Oranges
1 tbsp Cognac

Almond Topping

100 g Almonds Paste

Instructions

Step 1

Boil the cream and butter in a saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 2

Break the chocolate into pieces, and stir into the hot cream and let it melt. Stir in orange zest and brandy.

Step 3

Work almond paste until soft and drip in food colouring. Knead it until the colour becomes even and fine.

Roll out the almond paste (rolls out well on a plastic cutting board) so that it covers the bottom of an aluminum mould, about 10 x 17 cm. Press it down into the bottom of the mould.
