In the third part of the Mexican Fiesta workshop at the Waitrose Cookery School we learnt how to make Salt Chocolate Pot with Tequila and Orange Granita. This is a very rich dessert and despite all the detailed instructions in this article it is super easy to make. You will impress your guests with it. Guaranteed!

Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Granita:
200ml	Orange Juice, smooth
50ml	Water
35ml	Anejo Tequila
For the chocolate pot:
75g	Dark Chocolate, melted (70%)
185ml	Double Cream
30g	Dark brown muscovado sugar
½	Vanilla Pod, scraped
1	Large egg
½ tsp	Sea salt

 

   

Method

For the granita:

1. Pour the orange juice, water and tequila into a shallow dish and carefully place into the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely frozen. Using a fork, scrape the frozen juice to break it up and return to the freezer until needed.

 

For the Chocolate pot:

1. Add the chocolate to a food processor and blitz for 30 seconds.
2. Next, combine the cream, sugar and vanilla into a small pan. Bring to the boil and remove.
3. Scrape into the chocolate and blitz until smooth.
4. Add the egg and blitz.
5. Finally, add the salt. Pour into 2 ramekins, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

To serve:

Spoon the grated granita onto the set chocolate pot and eat straight away.
