Method

In a blender or food processor, blend the ice, ice cream and juice together till smooth.

Then, decorate the insides of the glass with chocolate sauce. To do this, drizzle a little chocolate from the bottle into the bottom of the glass. Then, holding the glass at an angle, squeeze the sauce from the rim to give a vertical line down one side. Turn the glass and repeat until you have about 8 vertical lines.

Pour the orange mixture into the glasses and decorate each one with a few fresh or tinned mandarin segments.
