Ingredients:
1 oz (about 3 squares) 85% dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
⅔ cup low-fat yogurt
1 small orange
A few mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions:
  1. Melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, or use a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Let it cool slightly, then stir in a little yogurt.
  2. Finely grate the zest from half the orange. Peel the orange, remove the white pith, and chop the segments. No need to remove the membrane unless it’s tough.
  3. Stir the remaining yogurt into the chocolate mixture, then mix in the orange zest. Divide the chopped orange between two small serving glasses, then spoon the chocolate-yogurt mixture on top. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Garnish with mint leaves before serving.
Make it vegan: Swap the low-fat yogurt for a fortified soy or dairy-free alternative!
