INSTRUCTIONS

Bring the water and sugar to a boil, remove from the heat and submerge the mandarin orange peels. Allow to steep for at least two hours. Drain the peels and lay them on a baking sheet with baking paper and bake at 90°C for about four hours. Once cool, cut the peels and place them on the chocolate.

Chocolate flames

Slowly melt 250 g of dark chocolate in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
With the help of a spoon create drops of dark chocolate on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Starting from the centre of the drop and working towards the outside, form the flames with a fork and before they solidify lay a few pieces of previously dehydrated mandarin orange peel (place the unused peels in a container in the freezer). Place the baking sheet in a blast freezer and allow the chocolate to harden.
For this procedure it is not necessary to temper the chocolate.

Pour the mixture into the batch freezer. Extract the gelato and variegate it with lemon slices and pineapple sage leaves. Put the gelato in the blast freezer for about 10 minutes and then place it in the display case.

Note: this sorbet has a relative acidity based on the origin of the lemon. It is certainly digestive and valued by those who want an accentuated acidity.
