CHILLI HOT CHOCOLATE



Chilli Hot Chocolate image

Got this off a cooking show - can't remeber which one. The combination of chilli and chocolate is fabulous in winter (picture the woodfire, pouring rain and all the associated cliches!). My boyfriend and I are both huge fans of both chocolate (that goes without saying!) and chilli, so this is a fabulous combination of the two!!

Time 22m

Yield 3 mugs

Number Of Ingredients 3

100 g 80% cocoa solids chocolate
chili powder
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • gently heat milk in a saucepan over low heat.
  • when the milk is about 90 degrees C, break up the chocolate and add to the milk.
  • stir or whisk (which ever works best) until the chocolate melts.
  • Add the chilli, testing as you go until it is as hot as you like it.
  • enjoy in bed on a rainy night with a good movie and good company (human, dog or cat!).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality dark chocolate: Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich, intense flavor.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: Different peppers offer unique heat levels and flavors. Experiment with cayenne, ancho, or chipotle peppers to create a customized spice blend.
  • Start with a small amount of chili pepper and adjust to taste: Chili peppers can be very spicy, so it's best to add them gradually until you reach the desired heat level.
  • Use whole spices for extra flavor: Whole spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise add depth and warmth to the hot chocolate.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to add other ingredients like vanilla extract, orange zest, or even a pinch of salt to create a unique and flavorful hot chocolate.
