A few months back I had a flourless chocolate cake in a restaurant and it came with a jalapeno sauce to drizzle over the cake. It sounds weird but it was exquisite. The chef at the restaurant isn't willing to share so I am on the hunt to figure it out for myself.
The posts about the flourless mug cake made me think about that sauce. I have been searching the Internet the past few days for a jalapeno sauce to use over chocolate cake but all the recipes are either jalapeno "jelly," mixed with some kind of fruit, or made with ingredients like onions to pour over meat.
The jalapeno sauce at that restaurant wasn't sweet; the sweetness in the cake was enough. It was a thin sauce - made for dipping the cake into or drizzling over it. It was shocking to me how awesome the mix of jalapeno and chocolate is. I could put jalapenos in the cake itself but that wouldn't be the same.
Also, I would LOVE to make that cake with the sauce on the side and freak a few people out when I tell them afterward that their elegant dessert was actually a low carb recipe!
Any ideas?

Sweet Jalapeno Sauce
Ingredients
4 Jalapenos seeded and chopped (if you want more sweet and less heat make this 2)
One tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 drops green food coloring
2 egg yolks
4 tablespoons xylitol
¼ cup butter
½ cup heavy whipping cream
*Fresh jalapenos can make your hands burn when cleaning them. If you have sensitive skin wear gloves. Wash your hands immediately after you are done.
Directions
1- Put oil in small fry pan over medium heat and heat until warm.
2- Add jalapeno and cook until lightly browned, about ten minutes.
3- Pour jalapenos into food processor and add xylitol. Pulse until dissolved. Scrape out into a bowl and set aside.
4- In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat
5- While stirring with a whisk add egg yolks and whipping cream. Cook 3 minutes over medium heat or until thickened.
6- Add jalapenos and food coloring. Cook 2 more minutes stirring contstantly and sauce is done.
Sansucre wanted this sauce over chocolate cake like she had in a restaurant. I think it would be wonderful over meat or as a sauce for Mexican food.
