Break the chocolate up into a glass bowl and set over a pan of simmering water.  Melt together with the orange juice and maple syrup, stirring until smooth

Add the chocolate mixture, vanilla and avocado to a blender and puree until perfectly smooth

Pour the mixture into the tin and smooth over the top with the back of a spoon or spatula

Refrigerate for an hour or so until the top is just firm, then cover the top with the extra overhang clingfilm and refrigerate overnight

Unmould by peeling the clingfilm off the top and turning the loaf tin upsides down onto a plate. Remove the tin and the rest of the clingfilm.

Slice with a warm knife, wiping the blade between slices

A little goes a long way as this is quite rich, one tin will serve 12 slices and even more people. Serve with whipped cream, berries and cookies or wafers to spread the pâté on if desired
