  • Fiber: 3g

  • Sugar: 6g

Values vary depending on chocolate used.


Dietary Adaptations

  • Dairy-Free / Pareve: Use certified pareve dark chocolate.

  • Dairy Version: Use kosher dairy chocolate for a creamier flavor.

  • Vegan: Ensure chocolate is certified vegan and pareve.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Chocolate seized? A drop of water can cause seizing. If it happens, stir in 1–2 teaspoons neutral oil to smooth it out.

  • White streaks after chilling? That’s bloom (fat or sugar bloom). Safe to eat but caused by temperature changes.

  • For glossy finish: Temper the chocolate properly instead of simply melting.

  • Extra crunch: Toast almonds with a light sprinkle of salt before adding.

  • Add-ins: Coconut flakes, chia seeds, dried cranberries, or espresso powder (ensure kosher certification).


Serving Suggestions

  • Serve alongside fresh berries.

  • Add to a dessert charcuterie board.

  • Crumble over kosher vanilla ice cream.

  • Package in cellophane bags for kosher holiday gifts.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz (340 g) high-quality kosher-certified dark chocolate (60–72% cacao), chopped

    Do not let water touch the chocolate.

  3. Add Flavoring

  • Nut-Free: Omit nut toppings and verify chocolate is produced in a nut-free facility if required.

  • Passover-Friendly: Use kosher for Passover chocolate and certified ingredients.


Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Chocolate Seized? If chocolate becomes grainy, stir in 1 teaspoon neutral oil and gently warm to smooth.

  • Strong Orange Flavor: Add extract gradually—too much can overpower the chocolate.

  • Avoid Bitter Zest: Zest only the orange outer peel, not the white pith.
