Here’s a simple and versatile recipe for Green Chilli Chocolate (makes about 10–12 pieces).
Ingredients
● 200 g dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa works best)
● 1 fresh green chilli (mild to medium heat)
● 1 tbsp fresh cream (optional, for smoothness)
● ½ tsp butter (optional, for glossy finish)
● Pinch of salt
● Optional flavor additions:
○ Pinch of cinnamon
○ Few drops of vanilla essence
Instructions
Prepare the green chilli:
Wash the green chilli, remove the seeds, and finely mince it. Deseeding helps control the spice level while keeping the chilli aroma.
Melt the chocolate:
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth and lump-free.
Infuse the chilli:
Add the minced green chilli to the melted chocolate. Keep the heat very low and stir for 1–2 minutes to allow the chilli flavor to infuse into the chocolate.
Strain (optional):
For a smooth finish, strain out the chilli pieces. If you prefer small bursts of heat, leave a few chilli bits in the chocolate.
Finish the chocolate:
Stir in the cream, butter, salt, and optional cinnamon or vanilla. Mix until glossy and well combined.
Set the chocolate:
Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 30–40 minutes until fully set.
Serve & Enjoy
● Serve as chocolate squares or bites
● Pair with coffee or red wine
● Use as a gourmet dessert or edible gift
● Perfect for food reels and creative menus
The chocolate delivers sweetness first, followed by a subtle, warming chilli finish — an unforgettable flavor experience.
Tips
● Start with less chilli; you can always add more heat later
● Dark chocolate balances spice better than milk chocolate
● A squeeze of lime on the side can enhance the chilli notes
● Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
Smooth and chocolatey at first, these bites finish with a gentle green chilli heat that sneaks up on you. The contrast is bold, addictive, and made for curious palates. Pair with coffee, red wine, or a pinch of sea salt and let the flavors play. One bite is never enough — enjoy the adventure.
