17.5 oz/490 grams high-quality dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet), chopped

1 chili pepper, finely chopped
Double shot espresso
Method:
1. Divide cream into 3 individual pans
2. Add mint into 1 pan, chili into the second pan, and espresso into the third pan
3. Slowly warm each pan to a near simmer and remove from heat, allowing flavor to infuse for 15 minutes.
4. Place dark chocolate in a small bowl and set over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir constantly until chocolate melts.
5. Remove pan from the heat.
6. Divide chocolate into 3 small pots.
