Chocolate Pots with Rosemary and Orange: I made these a little sweet treat after the lamb on Easter Sunday. I thought everyone would be too full for dessert. It would appear not; everyone needed their chocolate hit.

The secret is to use the best quality chocolate you can. I served the chocolate cream in dainty tea and espresso cups; each serving was a maximum of 70ml – as I served them alongside tart au citron. Chocolate pots with rosemary and orange are super easy to make and take 20 minutes to prepare. My recipe tasters gave me odd looks when I asked them to try them. The subtle infusion of rosemary and orange is a winning combination. Rosemary is savoury! But it is a perfect marriage. Lavender is also a fun combination with chocolate, but I would omit Madeira and the orange.

I found the recipe in Sophie Grigson’s Sophie’s Table. A great recipe book full of well-written, exciting recipes.
