- Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
- Unmold and cover with the reserved cream.
- Decorate with chocolate shavings and candied orange and refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving.

- Add the butter and cook for another 1 minute, without boiling.
- Wait for it to cool a little and add the chocolate, stirring until smooth.
- Once cool, add lemon zest to taste.
- Refrigerate until very cold and gently fold in the whipped cream.
