Chocolate Orange Parfait + Hazelnut Crumb

November 26, 2014

Is there a better combination than chocolate and orange? No, no there is not. (I’ll probably make this claim about several food pairings over the course of this blog, but we’ll just skim over that…). This chocolate orange parfait is rich and creamy and melt-in-your-mouth good!

Add to that a crunchy hazelnut crumb and you’ve got a well rounded, but simple, dessert. The chocolate orange parfait can be made ahead of time whilst the crumb can be whizzed up in about 30 seconds, making this an ideal dinner party dessert. You know, when you want it to look like you’ve been slaving away all day without actually doing so? (I say that but I’m one of those weirdos who loves whole days in the kitchen!)

As an aside, I’m pretty sure I deserve a medal for taking these photos without so much as a bite of this dessert. I’m currently attempting a little 5 day sugar free detox (a ridiculous idea, I know!). OK, maybe 4 days, because let’s be realistic – Fridays are not for detoxing! I’m currently almost 3 days in and successful so far which is basically a miracle. I hope you’re all proud of me 😉
