Method

  1. Segment the oranges over a sieve set over a small pan on scales to collect as much juice as possible. Squeeze out the pulp left behind too to get all the juice out. Weigh the juice, then add the same weight of sugar and simmer over a low heat until the sugar dissolves into a syrup – don’t take it too far as it will thicken a little as it cools.
  2. Whip the cream with the vanilla bean paste to soft peaks, then divide it among the meringue nests. Top with the blood orange segments, then drizzle over the blood orange syrup and grate over the dark chocolate to finish.

    Make Ahead

    To make this recipe even quicker, prepare the oranges and syrup and whip the cream in advance. Take the cream to just under soft whipped, as it thickens slightly further in the fridge. If it gets too firm, gently fold in a splash of milk to soften it.
