Ingredients

• ✓ cayenne pepper
• butter
• white sugar
• dark chocolate
• butter
• flour
• milk
• salt
• egg yolk
• egg white
• cream of tartar

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Lightly brush bottom and sides (up to the rim) of two 5-ounce ramekins with 1 teaspoon melted butter. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar to each ramekin; rotate until sugar completely coats inside ramekins, then tip to discard excess sugar.
3. 3 Pour 3 cups hot water into a pot set over low heat. Place chocolate pieces in a metal bowl; set the bowl over the pot of water until chocolate melts. Do not let the bowl touch the water and do not let the water simmer or boil.
4. 4 Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until incorporated and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
5. 5 Add milk mixture to melted chocolate; mix in salt and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. Add egg yolk; mix to combine. Leave the bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep chocolate warm while whipping egg whites.
6. 6 Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar in a bowl until mixture begins to thicken; a drizzle from the whisk should stay on the surface for one second before disappearing into the mixture.
7. 7 Whisk in 1 teaspoon sugar for 15 seconds. Repeat twice more until all remaining sugar added; continue whisking until mixture holds soft peaks and has a consistency of shaving cream, 3 to 5 minutes.
8. 8 Mix a little less than ½ egg white mixture into chocolate mixture until thoroughly incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold in remaining egg white mixture with a spatula until no white remains. Divide batter between the prepared ramekins; place on the prepared baking sheet.
9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until soufflés have puffed and risen above tops of rims, 12 to 15 minutes.
10. 10 Enjoy!

Ingredients

• ✓ cayenne pepper
• vegetable oil
• pumpkin seed
• cinnamon
• white sugar
• beer

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the pumpkin seeds until they have browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer into a bowl, and mix with cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Set aside. Butter a jellyroll pan, and set aside near the stove.
2. 2 Butter a jellyroll pan, and set aside near the stove.
3. 3 Combine the sugar and beer in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture boils and the sugar has dissolved. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the temperature measured by a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), about 40 minutes. When the candy reaches the correct temperature (hard crack) it will form brittle strings when dripped into ice water.
4. 4 Remove the candy from the heat, and quickly stir in the pumpkin seeds. Pour the candy carefully into the prepared jellyroll pan to form a thin layer; allow to cool. Break the candy into bite-size pieces once cool. Store in an airtight container.

Ingredients

• ✓ cayenne pepper
• dark chocolate chip
• ginger
• cinnamon
• black pepper
• salt
• heavy cream
• dark chocolate chip
• gingersnap cookie

Instructions

1. 1 Add chocolate chips to a heat-proof mixing bowl; add ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and cayenne. Heat cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Immediately remove from heat and pour hot cream over chocolate. Shake bowl slightly to fully cover the chocolate; let sit for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk until well combined and a thick, glossy ganache forms.
2. 2 Cover ganache with plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature or until firm enough to scoop, about 15 minutes. Form about 2 teaspoons of the ganache into balls using a small sorbet scoop, or roll by hand. Place balls onto a baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper. Refrigerate until cold and firm, about 15 minutes, then re-roll as needed to smoothen.
3. 3 Place a heat-proof bowl over a pot of hot water on the lowest heat settling. Add most of the chocolate chips, reserving about 1/3 cup, to the bowl and let melt, about 5 minutes. In the meantime, break gingersnap in half and place on a plate next to a microplane. Stir the reserved chocolate chips into the melted chocolate until they disappear. Remove from heat.
4. 4 Dip truffles into the melted chocolate by hand or by holding each truffle with a fork and spooning the chocolate on top. Place truffles on the baking sheet and swirl the tops with your finger. Grate the gingersnap on top. Let truffles rest on the baking sheet until the coating dries and hardens completely, trimming away excess chocolate from the bases using the back of a knife if desired.

Ingredients

• ✓ cayenne pepper
• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• kosher salt
• ginger
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• butter
• brown sugar
• molasses
• egg
• vanilla extract
• crystallized ginger
• white chocolate

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
2. 2 Combine butter, brown sugar, and molasses in a bowl; mix with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Add vanilla and chopped ginger. Mix and mash with the whisk until ginger is evenly distributed and coated with the butter-sugar mixture, about 1 minute.
3. 3 Mix in 1/2 of the dry ingredients with a spatula until incorporated. Mix in remaining dry ingredients until dough is very wet and sticky.
4. 4 Transfer dough to a long piece of plastic wrap, using a buttered knife to help if necessary. Wrap plastic around the dough and shape with your hands into a uniform log, about 12 to 14 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
6. 6 Remove dough from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Wet your fingers and smooth out any edges.
7. 7 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
8. 8 Remove loaf from the oven, cover with a clean towel, and let sit for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
9. 9 Uncover the loaf and brush a little water around the bottom edge to soften. Transfer to a cutting board.
10. 10 Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 1/2-inch slices. Cut at an angle for longer biscotti, or straight across for shorter ones. Transfer slices back to the baking sheet.
11. 11 Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip biscotti and cook until they are dry and crispy all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
12. 12 Place melted white chocolate into a plastic bag. Snip off a corner and pipe over biscotti. Let sit until chocolate has cooled and hardened, about 30 minutes.

• white sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• butter
• egg yolk
• vanilla extract
• apple cider vinegar
• blueberry
• raspberry
• blackberry
• white sugar
• cornstarch
• lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. 2 Make crumble: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Grate in frozen butter, stopping occasionally to toss butter into flour mixture until coated.
3. 3 Stir in egg yolks and vanilla with a fork until egg is mostly absorbed. Add 1 teaspoon vinegar; mix briefly. Use your hands to finish mixing, squeezing until clumps form, but mixture remains mostly dry. Add more vinegar if needed. Set crumble aside.
4. 4 Make filling: Combine blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries in another large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined and sugar and cornstarch are mostly dissolved.
5. 5 Place about 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Press mixture down using a flat cup until well compacted. Spread berry filling on top. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over berries, squeezing some of the crumble into clumps.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until top is beautifully browned and berry filling bubbles, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving, about 30 minutes.
