This simple recipe, with just a few ingredients, achieves great harmony by combining cocoa with its traditional counterparts in Mexican culture: cinnamon and muscovado sugar, which round out the toasted and aromatic notes. To add depth, we’ve incorporated raisins, while the roasted pasilla chili rounds out the blend. Its mild heat enhances the robust character of “Perdido Choco-Mex,” elevating the experience to a chocolate flavor with Mexican character and complexity.
