Prepare the base:
Mix the ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, pour 400 ml of milk and add 120 grams of sugar. Grate the zest of an orange directly into the saucepan, then add 60 grams of cocoa powder.
Tip: Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor; It adds a subtle yet delicious citrus note that complements the chocolate perfectly.
Cook the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until it boils. This completely dissolves the sugar and mixes the cocoa powder with the milk.
Tip: Watch the mixture as it cooks to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add the butter:
Stir in the butter: once the mixture reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and immediately add 150 grams of butter. Stir until the butter melts completely and is fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
Tip: Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the cookies and nuts; This will help it thicken slightly and blend it more easily.
