    Chili Chocolate Pudding with Grilled Peaches

    What is more tempting than a chocolate pudding? Chili chocolate pudding with grilled peaches! Yes, because it will make your taste buds jolt and then ask for more. Don’t get worried if spice is not your best friend because this is not a spicy treat. At first, you get that luscious chocolate taste and then, the kick from chili hits the back of your tongue. Paired with grilled peaches, whipped cream and chili chocolate sauce, this dessert gets uplifted to a whole new level.

    Last month, Better Homes and Garden asked for a dessert contribution starring Vitamin C for their August issue. I instantly thought of incorporating fruits and citrus was the most obvious choice. But then I learnt of other Vitamin C rich ingredients, like chili pepper! A good dose, if you use raw red chili and a fairly little dose, if you use the dry powder.

    The combination of chili with chocolate is not unusual but it was definitely new to our palate. We loved the subtle heat with the rich chocolate. I gobbled a little too much than I should. The rich sweetness from grilled peaches and the airy whipped cream helps to balance the heat. Plus, peaches also have a good measure of Vitamin C.

    If you haven’t paired chili with chocolate, you should totally give it a go. Start with this easy pudding or just the chili chocolate sauce on ice cream and give your taste buds a good shake.

    Prep Time 10 minutes mins
    Cook Time 30 minutes mins
    Total Time 40 minutes mins
    Servings 4 cups

    Ingredients
     

    for chocolate pudding

    • ¾ cup all purpose flour
    • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons softened butter
    • 1 egg
    • 1 medium red chili (frozen for at least 2 hours)
    • ¼ cup warm water
    • pinch of salt

    for chili chocolate sauce

    • 50 gram chocolate
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder

    other ingredients

    • heavy whipping cream
    • 2 peaches (cut into wedges)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 180C.
    • In a bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. Give it a whisk and then add milk, egg, softened butter and warm water. Whisk until it all comes together to form a smooth paste. Using a hand grater, grate the frozen red chili into the batter.
    • Scoop the paste into 4 oven-proof pudding bowls. Make sure you pour only a little more than half and not fill the bowls completely. This is because the pudding will rise as it bakes.
    • Put the pudding bowls in a baking sheet and bake it for about 15 minutes.
    • To prepare the chili chocolate sauce, melt chocolate in a microwave. It takes about 20 to 30 seconds. Whisk it a little and then, add chili powder along with water. Whisk again until it’s smooth. Check for spiciness and if you prefer more heat, add more chili powder.
    • Before serving the pudding, whisk the heavy cream until it gets thick. Also, cut the peaches into wedges and grill it on a pan.
    • Drizzle the chili chocolate pudding with chili chocolate sauce, spoon some whipped cream and top it with a few wedges of grilled peach.

      Even since I watched the movie, Chocolat, starring Juliette Binoche, I have long been curious about chocolate + spice combination, yet I haven't try to create any. In the movie, she served hot chocolate with a pinch of cayenne, but I like yours A LOT more. Who wouldn't want to take on the food challenge once seeing these gorgeous photos? I also love that you served it with peach to calm the palette down after tasting the spicy chocolate pudding. LOVE
