The chilli chocolate pudding is a love affair to beat all the epic love sagas you have ever heard or seen. It has all the drama (that\u2019s the chilli in it), all the emotion (that\u2019s the chocolate in it) and all the feels you\u2019ll ever need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A disclosure before I begin. This was an\nexperiment. No, no not the chilli part. That I knew would be gourmet perfection\nbecause people have been mixing cocoa and chilli since the Mayan\u2019s lived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the recipe itself. I played around with the proportions, and the pudding just happened. And let me say, I loved it, and my kids demolished it. In one sitting. Now back to the regular programming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 How to Make Chili Chocolate Pudding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Continuing with the theme for February \u2013\nall things chocolate, candles, candies and care \u2013 here is another sweet\ndelicacy you can make for Valentine\u2019s Day. Or if celebrating it as Galentine's\nDay! No matter what the celebration ( or not), chilli chocolate pudding is\nsublime! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, by the by, literally anyone can make it. All you need is the ingredients and a food processor, and you\u2019re done in 15 minutes tops. Rest of the work is done by the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chilli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Begin by blending\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, the first step is to soak cashews overnight and then drain them thoroughly. When that\u2019s done, whip out the food processor and add to the cashews, homemade almond milk<\/a>, maple syrup, cocoa powder, sea salt and chilli powder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blend the ingredients until they are nice and smooth. I\u2019ve used almond milk to keep the super satisfying treat dairy-free, but you can<\/em> use regular ( full fat) milk or cream. If you don\u2019t have maple syrup at hand, then honey works just as well. To this glossy mixture, I added some melted dark chocolate and to help it set better, some agar-agar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chilli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This completely decadent and completely rich chilli chocolate pudding is entirely free of refined sugar and is vegan to the boot! Which is why I used agar-agar, the vegetarian version of gelatin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first foray into agar-agar was with mango coconut panna cotta<\/a>, which turned out to be velvety, creamy and gorgeous in every bite. So, it isn\u2019t really a surprise that agar-agar faired excellently in this pudding too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak China Grass (another name for the good stuff) in some water and then gently heat it. The trick is not<\/em> to boil the mixture but just to warm it. This gets whirl in the blender with the rest of the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

End by enjoying\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Right now, the decadent pudding has a consistency of a thick milkshake or smoothie. Pour it into dessert bowls or elegant glasses (I love these old fashioned stemmed ones) and then let it sit overnight or at least 6-8 hours in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, you can garnish it in endless ways \u2013 chilli flakes, sea salt, chocolate curls, coarsely chopped nuts, some whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the chilli chocolate pudding an excellent dessert?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They say, love of any kind; be it your\nparents, your friends, your better half, or your children; nurtures the soul.\nThis chilli chocolate pudding was my attempt at making something that does the\nsame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the chilli then, you ask?<\/em> Well, love\nhas a spicy kick to it. And the chilli emulates those little surprises love\nbrings to our lives every now and then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chilli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And do not worry one bit, the chilli\npowder doesn\u2019t<\/em> make the pudding fiery. Rather the pairing of chillies\nwith chocolate makes for a delicious combination that brings out the riches of\nboth and gives it that extra special something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the very first bite, the taste buds get a perky jolt, and when you reach for a second and third taste of the luscious chocolate pudding. By the time you are scraping the sides of the glass for the last morsel, the tummy is filled with a warm glow \u2013 precisely the feeling you want to end the day on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you love this chili chocolate pudding as much as we do!<\/p>\n\n\n
