Place the prunes in a small pan and cover with water. Add the orange peel, clove, allspice berry and nutmeg. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
100 g prunes, 1 orange, 1 whole cloves, 1 allspice berry, good grating of nutmeg
Remove the orange peel and clove and puree the rest using a stick blender or mini food processor. I used my power blender.
While the prunes are still warm, add the butter and chocolate. Leave for a few minutes to melt, then stir until smooth.
25 g butter, 125 g dark chocolate
Finally stir in the amaretto and spoon into little ramekins or chocolate pots.
1 tbsp Amaretto liqueur

Can be made the day before serving.

For a special occasion, decorate with gold leaf, alternatively grate some chocolate over the top or add a dusting of glitter.
