Chili-Lime Gulf Coast Chocolate

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: ice, banana, milk and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the chocolate and let it chili-lime, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the fresh fruit and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
