I'm not gonna lie, this is one of my favorite desserts I've made in a while. It's chocolate, thick, and subtly spicy. The perfect balance of sweet and spice and hits the spot every time that chocolate craves come creeping back.
As I like to do when I find recipes like that, I test all the variations I can to simplify the recipe without losing any of the flavor or texture of the dish. I think I did pretty well with this one if I do say myself!
