Time 40m

Yield approximately about 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
12 peanut butter cups
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard cupcake pan with liners.
  • To prepare the cupcake batter: In a large heat resistant bowl, combine the chocolate and butter over a pot of simmering water, without letting the bottom touch the water. Stir gently until melted and well combined. You may use a microwave, if preferable.
  • Remove chocolate from heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the sugar. Beat with a handheld electric mixture until smooth and combined, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing for 20 seconds between each egg to incorporate.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  • Using ladle or small measuring cup, fill the cupcake cups 2/3 of the way full. Place a peanut butter cup in the center of each cup and press down slightly. Bake until the cupcakes are firm to the touch about 20 minutes.
  • To prepare the frosting: Using a handheld electric beater, cream the cream cheese and butter together thoroughly. Add the chili power and cinnamon, mixing to incorporate. Add the salt, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar. Finally, mix in the melted chocolate and blend thoroughly until smooth. If additional thickening is needed, add more sifted confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until a spreadable consistency is reached.

This is a spiced version of hot chocolate that is absolutely fantastic. It can be a little rich, though. As with any recipe, you should try it first. Adjust the spices to your preference. If the drink is a bit rich for your taste you can add a cup of water to cut it down a bit.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for the richest flavor.
  • Use real chili peppers: Fresh chili peppers provide the best flavor, but you can also use dried chili flakes or powder. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
  • Don't overdo the chili: A little bit of chili goes a long way. Too much can make the hot chocolate too spicy.
  • Use your favorite milk: You can use dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or any other type of milk you like.
  • Sweeten to taste: Add sugar or honey to taste, if desired.
  • Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chili powder: This adds a delicious finishing touch.
