The spice of chilli goes surprisingly well with chocolate...it gives it a little kick but does not overpower it.  You do not notice the chilli at first bite, but it suddenly creeps up on you as a delicious surprise.   Chocolate is often added to chilli's to give the flavour a bit of depth, so why not the other way around!  The lime topping is a nice contrast to the chocolate and spice taste too.

A chocolate topping would be lovely with these too if you wanted a complete chocolate experience!  Hmmm...good idea Diva...I may bake these again and try them slatered in chocolate..

INGREDIENTS

2 cups almond flour

2 tspn baking powder

1/4 tspn salt

1/2 cup butter, melted

4 eggs

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup erthyritol  (or sugar substitute of your choice...honey is nice, but not low carb)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tspn cayenne pepper

1/4 tspn cinnamon

Cream Cheese Topping

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup erthyritol, ground (or other sugar substitute)

    I love the combination of chocolate and chilli, and with the lime, these must taste really interesting.
