A rich and bold sugar-free Mexican spiced dark chocolate infused with warm cinnamon and a hint of cayenne for a subtle kick. This easy homemade treat is perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings without added sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cocoa butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or preferred sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the cocoa butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring occasionally until fully melted.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Add the powdered sweetener, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice level as desired.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into molds or a parchment-lined dish.
  6. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, or until fully set.
  7. Remove from molds, break into pieces if needed, and store in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
  • Ensure sweetener is powdered to avoid grainy texture.
  • Store in the refrigerator if your kitchen is warm to prevent melting.
  • You can add chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut for variation.
