3. Remove from heat and stir in orange extract, zest, and salt.
4. Pour cream mixture over melted chocolate and stir until fully combined. Add food coloring if desired.

7. Chill again for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Always use fresh orange zest and pure extract for the brightest flavor.
Store in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
