Chocolate with orange - products, as if specially created for each other. The fusion of their tastes is always harmonious. The combination of colors of these products is advantageous. Impress your guests with this delicious dessert. It is sweet, juicy, and unusual - just what you need. The recipe for an orange in chocolate with a photo, the design of homemade sweets (this is the category of dessert they can be attributed to), will help you prepare exactly the same homemade holiday sweets.

Citrus Flavor

Let's touch on the topic of the taste of these fruits a little. Deciding to cook an orange with chocolate yourself for the first time, you need to know in advance which flavor is preferable for citrus. It is better to use slightly sour fruits. Orange slices (or circles) will be processed in sugar syrup. Therefore, sourness will be very out of place. But if you are not a very sophisticated buyer and do not understand what kind ofyou, sour or sweet, then nothing critical will happen. Your oranges with chocolate will just turn out a little sweeter.

What kind of chocolate to use in the recipe

The taste of dessert can change depending on the taste of its chocolate component. You can rely solely on your own preferences. But in the method of preparation provided by us, preference is given to dark or bitter chocolate. With an orange, its taste will play brighter.

We cook our own holiday sweets

First, let's check if everything is available in our refrigerator and other bins. Here is a list of what we will definitely need during this magical event:

• oranges - 1 kilo;
• chocolate - 300-400 grams;
• sugar - 400 grams;
• water - 1-2 cups;
• lean non-flavored oil - 2 tablespoons;
• wide thick-bottomed cookware (you need it to have a non-stick layer, otherwise our recipe for oranges in chocolate will be spoiled by unnecessary nerves and possible burning, the cookware must have a well ground lid);
• a grate will also come in handy, on which we will lay out slices boiled in syrup (or circles taken out of it).

Let's rid the bitterness of citrus fruits

You can not do this, but then not everyone will like your sweets. It is better to remove the bitterness so that oranges with chocolate are not interrupted by unpleasant flavors. Moreover, this will be very easy to do.

Washedfruits, without peeling the skin, turn into circles. The thickness of the blanks is not more than five millimeters. We spread the sliced oranges in a bowl and pour boiling water for two minutes. We take out the prepared orange circles, trying to preserve all their beauty and not damage them. Lay out evenly so that they do not shrink. Use a wire rack or a suitable flat surface.

Oranges in caramel

Next, let's start cooking oranges in chocolate at home. Circles (slices) are placed on a frying pan (or stewpan) sprinkled with sugar. Don't layer too much fruit. Ideally, if you cook one level of oranges, but in reality it turns out two or three. If the dishes have a wide bottom, this greatly simplifies the situation. We lay the oranges tightly and even overlap a little. Sprinkle each layer with some sugar. Sprinkle the final orange layer with sugar as well.

Now gently add water. Do this so that the pouring liquid does not wash the sugar from the top layers of the oranges.

Cover the dishes with a lid and turn on the stove. When signs of boiling are found, we make the lowest temperature under the dishes with oranges. If the water with sugar boils strongly, then the circles can turn into rags. Delicate boiling of citrus fruits lasts at least two hours. During this time, the lid must be closed. If the liquid boils away quickly, then it is allowed to add a very small amount additionally. Fresh water must be hot.

Ready fruit circles will be transparentamber color. And the resulting sling will become like liquid honey. Now the stove can be turned off. Oranges should be allowed to cool well before continuing with them.

Now take them out on the wire rack and dry well. It is undesirable to lay sweet oranges on paper. They can easily stick to the surface. If you don't have a grid, then you can use a silicone sheet. It will allow you to process orange rings no worse.

At this time, prepare the chocolate. Let's break it smaller, and even better - rub it on a grater. We melt in a water bath by placing an unbreakable bowl or similar container in boiling water. When the whole product turns into a uniform mass, we mix vegetable oil into it, turning the chocolate and butter into a homogeneous emulsion.

Shaping the dessert

And now you can prepare baking (parchment) paper or wrap a flat board with cling film.

Dip the orange circle approximately to its middle in the chocolate mass. We take it out, and, holding it in the air for a few seconds, so that the chocolate grabs on the surface of the citrus, we lay it on the prepared plane. At this point, you can sprinkle the chocolate part with coconut flakes or other decorative topping if you want to give the dessert even more charm. Dip each orange circle in the same way.

If you cut the circle into two segments, you can dip orange slices in chocolate. In this case, the dessert will be more convenient to use. Don't put homemade sweets in the refrigerator. It will turn out more beautiful if they freeze.completely at room temperature.

Complete solidification of the chocolate indicates that the slices are ready and you can not only eat them, but also place them in a box lined with parchment in order to present such an original gift to someone as a gift.

The shelf life of a natural dessert should not exceed ten days from readiness.
