| Author Notes: | Chocolate with Chile is a Central American aphrodisiac combination dating back further than recorded time. We've added orange to augment both the bite of bitter chocolate and the chile's sweet sting. |
| Ingredients: |
1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest 1 teaspoon chipotle Chile powder 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped evenly 1 tablespoon orange liqueur 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup cocoa 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon chipotle Chile powder |
| Instructions: |
Makes Approximately 24 truffles
Heat the cream sugar, butter, orange zest and 1 teaspoon of Chile powder to a boil over medium-high heat. Be careful not to boil over. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, liqueur, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into an 8-inch baking pan, cover loosely, and refrigerate until firm. Combine the cocoa, powdered sugar, and additional teaspoon of Chile powder in a shallow bowl. In batches, scoop out teaspoon or tablespoon-size portions of the truffle mixture; roll them into balls and coat them with the truffle mixture. Set the balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. Store in an airtight container with the cocoa mixture in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze. |
