Ingredients

  • 1 x 500 g cob loaf
  • 70 g cocoa powder
  • 40 g cornflour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 500 ml full cream milk, warmed
  • 150 g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 60 g unsalted butter
  • honeycomb and roasted nuts, chopped to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Trim 4 cm off the top of the cob and remove the soft bread inside. Break it up into bite-sized pieces, including the lid and place it onto a tray lined with baking paper and drizzle a little sunflower oil over the top.
  3. Put the bite-sized pieces and the empty cob loaf onto a lined tray and into the oven for 10 minutes to lightly crisp the bread.
  4. Sift the cocoa, cornflour, cinnamon and sugar into a medium saucepan pot and whisk to combine, ensuring there are no lumps.
  5. Add warmed milk and continue whisking until there are no lumps.
  6. Heat the pan once the mixture has combined, stirring continuously until it thickens. Approximately 8–10 minutes.
  7. Add grated orange zest and dark chocolate and stir until melted, then add butter until the mixture is smooth and thick.
  8. Pour the warmed mixture into the cob and set aside. Top with honeycomb and roasted nuts of your choosing, such as peanuts or pecans.
