The weather is getting colder, so to me, that means baking. Last year, I got turned on to spicy desserts, including spicy hot chocolate and these spicy molasses cookies. This fall, I’m planning on expanding my spicy dessert repertoire, so I found some fun-looking recipes to try. I’ve never attempted lava cakes– to me, that’s a chain restaurant-type dessert and not anything that I thought you could make. I plan to test this theory with these spicy chocolate lava cakes.
I’m generally not a pudding person, but this Aztec hot chocolate pudding recipe involves not only chili powder, but rum, which sounds delightful.
Speaking of booze, this recipe for chocolate chile cake involves bourbon, which is awesome. Because in addition to baked goods, cold weather means heavy drinking. That’s a thing, right? Moving on.
I think I’d try something other than the maple syrup icing on this pumpkin chocolate chip bundt cake, but I do love anything that involves pumpkin. However, pumpkin pie is by far my favorite pumpkin dessert, so this spicy pumpkin pie is probably going to be first on my list.
