right playing with the idea of a chocolate mousse and lime financier, as a plated dessert, i want the bitterness of the chocolate and the acidity lime, but wondering what flavours would be good to bring some sweatiness in.

any ideas are welcome.

thanks

Don't know from sweatiness, but I have enjoyed chocolate plus lime plus long pepper (gives pepper plus some extra fruitiness that plays well off the citrus), or cardamom (similar but not peppery), or basil (adds peppery without the fruity).

My first thought was ginger (and then, by extension, rum), but I'd definitely order it with coconut, too!

Ginger and lime have great affinity for each other and for coconut. I can't eat chocolate but I make a coconut sorbet with ginger and lime.

The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
