WHY THESE CHEATS ?

"You can of course make your own pasty, but this recipe takes just 5 minutes to prepare using a shop bought Pastry Case. My choice is the Dark Chocolate Orange, but the standard Milk Chocolate one works just a well." - MR HANS

With it being only 5 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to chill, this is one of the quickest decadent desserts you will ever make. The dessert is best eaten when at room temperature. Removing it from the fridge 30 minutes before serving will ensure the best results.
