CHOCOLATE CHILI BITES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 72 mini bites

Number Of Ingredients 7

200g (2 sticks) butter
200g (7oz) good-quality dark chocolate
250g (1 1/4 C) sugar
5 eggs
a rounded tablespoon flour
1 1/2 tsp ground chili pepper (I use piment d'Espelette -- adjust to your taste and to the strength of your chili)
a good pinch salt

Steps:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Melt the butter with the chocolate in a small saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave. If melting in the microwave, be sure to do it slowly, blending with a spoon between each pass. Transfer into a mixing bowl, add in the sugar, mix with a wooden spoon and let cool a little. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well with the spoon after each addition. Add a rounded tablespoon of flour, the ground chili and salt, and mix well. Pour the dough in the petit four molds, and put into the oven to bake for ten to twelve minutes. The top should look set, but the inside should still be on the soft side. Let the the mini bites cool down enough to unmold them, then transfer to a rack to cool completely while you cook the other batches. Store in a plastic container, refrigerate, and take out about an hour prior to serving the next day.
