Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra-fine shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup pistachio nuts, shelled and chopped

Directions

In a medium saucepot, heat the cream, cinnamon, chili powder and cayenne pepper over medium-low heat until it comes to a simmer. Add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator until it firms up, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

In the meantime, place the toasted coconut, cookie crumbs, cocoa powder and chopped pistachio nuts onto separate small plates.

Remove the chocolate from the refrigerator and let sit for 30 minutes to soften.

Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the chocolate into the toppings and roll them around to completely coat. Place on a plate and serve. Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days in an airtight container.

    They were simple and delicious! I would suggest just a smidge more cayenne if you want to taste some heat, but they were great as is.

    Although these are delicious, I was really hoping to taste the pepper more. I think calling them "spicy" is a definite misnomer. However, if you like a little bit of chili flavor in your chocolate, this is a good recipe.

    Only left the mixture in the fridge for an hour, no need to let stand for 30 minutes.
    Once the truffles were rolled in the toppings I placed back into the fridge.

    Came out great! The cayenne pepper is a perfect kick.
