This fire and ice chili have a secret ingredient that makes it rich, velvety and insanely delicious. Dark chocolate ice cream is stirred in before serving and adds a crazy depth of flavor while bringing so much richness to your favorite bowl. You have to try it! It adds a depth of flavor to the chili that is just insane. It’s not chocolately or creamy or anything. It’s perfect.

Ingredients

3/4 cup dark chocolate ice cream
2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
1 can crushed tomatoes
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. cumin
1 tbsp. brown sugar
3 tbsp. chili powder
3 tbsp. tomato paste
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. pepper
4 cloves garlic
1 orange bell pepper diced
1 red bell pepper diced
1 red onion diced
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Method

01

Heat a large pot over medium- low heat and add the olive oil. Add in the onions, peppers and garlic along with the salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until translucent. Add in the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon.
02

Increase the heat to medium and brown the beef until all the fat is rendered. I cook it a bit longer so some of that fat cooks off too.
03

Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, cumin, oregano, paprika, red pepper and nutmeg until combined. Cook for 5 minutes. Add in the crushed tomatoes, fire roasted tomatoes and pinto beans. Bring the mixer to a simmer.
04

Simmer, stirring often, for 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in the chocolate ice and simmer for another 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings.
