• 1 small (85g) sponge flan case
• 2 fresh oranges
• icing sugar (to serve)

Method

   and yoghurt.
3. Place the flan case on a serving plate.
4. Fill the centre with the custard, smooth over with a knife, and leave to cool completely.
5. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut away the skin from the oranges and cut the oranges into segments.

Tip:
The cocoa powder gives this dish a strong dark chocolate flavour – so sweeten it with a little extra sugar if you wish.
