Ingredients
Cocoa Chili Powder:
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Pinch salt
Quesadillas:
- 4 flour tortillas (8-inch in diameter)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 ounces white chocolate, broken into 1-inch squares
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, broken into 1-inch squares
- 3 teaspoons cocoa chili powder
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream, for service
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate sauce, for garnish
Directions
For Cocoa Chili Powder:
Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and combine well. Set aside.
For Quesadillas:
Heat a large nonstick skillet or a cast iron griddle over medium-high heat. Spread 1 side of each tortilla with butter. Lay 2 tortillas in the pan, buttered side down, and top each with half of the chocolate in a random order of varieties. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon cocoa chili powder and cover with the remaining tortillas, buttered side up. Let cook until the chocolate starts to melt, about for 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip over and cook the other side until evenly browned, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat to a cutting board, let rest for 3 to 4 minutes, then cut each into 4 quarters. To plate, put 1 scoop of ice cream into each serving dish, add 2 pieces of quesadilla and drizzle with the dark chocolate sauce. Dust each dish evenly with remaining teaspoon of the cocoa chili powder. Serve immediately.

I made these for my family last night. They looked very beautifulyl displayed on the plate with ice cream, whipped cream and drizzled with hot chocolate sauce. I was disappointed, the taste wasn't what I expected. It was spicy and I like spicy but I think I will go with cinnamon next time and skip the spicy stuff.

So i seen this episode recently and it looked delicious so i go home to create it for the wife. Fairly simple but be careful when it comes to chipotle powder. I dont think chipotle chile powder is the same as chipotle chile pepper powdered. I went to two stores and they only had the latter so i thought it was right.
I let my wife try it first, and she said "wow that has some bite i need some water" so i said thats whats the ice cream is for. So i tasted it and it was hot! Besides that it was interesting and quick/easy. Will make the rest tomorrow without the powder.
