Salt and Pepper Chocolate
- 1 cup (about 6 ounces) finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
- 1 cup (about 6 ounces) finely chopped white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon gray sea salt
- Working simultaneously but in separate bowls, temper the bittersweet and white chocolates as directed in Basic Tempered Chocolate (page 163).
- (You can use the same chocolate thermometer for tempering both chocolates; just wipe it thoroughly with a dry towel each time you switch bowls.)
- Once the chocolates are tempered, take both bowls and pour the chocolates at the same time onto a sheet pan lined with parchment or waxed paper, criss-crossing them so that the bittersweet and white chocolates swirl together.
- Shake the pan gently to spread the chocolate (it doesnt need to be level, but it should be no more than 1/2 inch thick at the thickest part).
- Sprinkle the chili powder and sea salt evenly across the surface of the chocolate.
- Then use a toothpick or skewer to further marbleize the chocolates and mix in the salt and chili powder.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 1 hour (or 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
- Using a chefs knife or your hands, cut or break the chocolate into 2-inch shards.
- Serve the chocolate immediately, or keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
