Of each of my three courses, the dessert was the most difficult to come up with. If I were to ask you to come up with a dessert recipe for Tabasco, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Personally, it was chocolate.
Brownies might have worked but they’re just not a dessert. I considered cheesecake but just wasn’t convinced, ditto melt in the middle puds. The eventual conclusion I arrived at was that I would just have to make a chocolate sauce. Because chilli + chocolate = goodness right?
You can replace pretty much all the ingredients (bar the chocolate sauce, duh) with something that suits your taste 100% BUT I really recommend not skimping on the quality of the ice cream, it’ll make a big difference.
Serves 2
100g dark chocolate
50ml whipping cream
25g butter
1 tbsp Tabasco
2 tbsps caramel (Carnation will do)
handful honey-roasted nuts
4 scoops good quality vanilla ice cream
- To make the chocolate sauce, slowly melt the chocolate and cream in a pan then take off the heat and add the butter and Tabasco.
- Assemble all ingredients in a bowl (add extras if desired, I feel like this could have done with a cake-y element, brownies maybe..)
OK, I know I said the starter and main were both easy but seriously.. I would leave a monkey to do this unsupervised (if they were hob flame trained… K maybe that wasn’t a perfect analogy..)
Have you ever tried hot sauce with a dessert? Tell me all about it in the comments!

Definitely chocolate. It could be only chocolate! I think a hot, creamy and dark hot chocolate would be great too. Though this does sound divine.
It was sooo good! Creamy hot chocolate (nice and thick) would also be lovely though, you’re right.
