Ingredients

225 grams high-quality dark chocolate, chopped

0.125 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper

1 pinch salt

120 ml heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate, ground chipotle pepper, and salt.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate mixture and let it sit for 3 minutes. Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

Transfer the chocolate mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Use the plastic wrap to shape the chocolate into a rough log. Continue rolling and wrapping the chocolate in the plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 to 60 minutes.

Step 4

Place the cocoa powder in a small bowl.

Step 5

Unwrap the chilled chocolate and cut it into 1/2-inch squares. Coat each square in the cocoa powder, tossing gently to ensure even coating.

Step 6

Serve and enjoy these spicy dark chocolate truffle squares as a delightful Valentine's Day dessert or as a special homemade gift for your loved ones.
