Tips

Use organic oranges if possible, since you’re using the peel. Thin-skinned oranges work best for this recipe.
Ensure some liquid remains after cooking the oranges, or add a little more water if needed (the pectin will help thicken as it cools).
Dust with cacao powder before serving.
Oranges (with the peel!) bring prebiotic fibres like pectin, which help feed your beneficial gut bacteria. The peel is also rich in polyphenols (plant compounds that support microbial diversity).
Dark chocolate and cacao powder are rich in polyphenols, especially flavonoids, which have been linked to reduced anxiety, better mood, and improved brain function. They’re also a good source of magnesium.
