  • Meanwhile melt the chocolate (I do it in the microwave in a glass bowl for 30 sec first and then another 20/30secs until melted)
  • Whip the cream,sugar and lemon rind until its thick add melted chocolate and Sheese mixture and whip together.
  • Fill the flan tin with the mixture and place in a preheated oven 160c for 30 mins
