Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 250 ml heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 100 ml whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside in a heatproof bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, and powdered sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Whisk the mixture gently until smooth and fully combined.
Divide the chocolate mixture evenly into serving glasses or ramekins.
Allow the glasses to cool to room temperature before covering and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle a few chili flakes on top for an extra kick (optional).
