The recipe

This recipe is meant to evolve. I believe there is always a certain trick or a brillant idea that can make it better.

I am currently experimenting a version without gluten, I’ll let you know…

So, let’s see the current state of the recipe:

Ingredients (for 4 to 6 servings) :

  • 200 g dark chocolate (70 % minimum). the one from Lindt is really good.
  • 60 cl milk
  • 2 big spoons of honey
  • 1 bird pepper or bird chile
  • 1 small spoon of vanilla aroma

Instructions :

  • Put the pepper in mortar and cut it into small pieces (as small as you can)
  • Cut the chocolate in pieces to make melting easier
  • Warm the chocolate into a sauce pan with a good fire
  • Add the vanilla and the chocolate
  • Mix well to avoid burning the chocolate
  • Turn down the fire if it starts melting
  • After fives minutes, add the pepper and honey
  • Keep mixing during 5 minutes until everything is melted
  • Keep it on a gentle fire during 10 minutes and mix it really well just before serving (so that spice is uniformly distributed)
  • Filter the mixture before serving with a strainer to avoid serving pepper pieces (important!)
  • Don’t wait too much before serving, it needs to be hot (both meanings being true :-) )
  • A small cup per person should be enough. Some could be surprise by the taste. I just love it but better be carefull!
