Peel the orange with a peeler, being careful not to remove the white and bitter part of the peel. Cut the peel obtained into julienne strips and put them in a saucepan, covering them with cold water.
Place the saucepan on the heat and, when the water reaches a boil, drain the peel.
Combine the sugar, cocoa, cream, milk and rum in a saucepan and mix vigorously with a whisk until the ingredients are combined, then add the dark chocolate and cook over a low heat. Gently stir the mixture until it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and add the orange peel.
You can serve the hot sauce immediately or let it cool: in this case, keep it in the fridge covered with cling film. The cold sauce will be thicker than the hot one.
If you want a lighter sauce, replace the cream with the same amount of water.
