I stumbled across this recipe on Epicurious for these decadent Chocolate Kumquat Egg Rolls, and the idea of the sweetness and creaminess of the chocolate/kumquat mixture layered against the delicate, flaky exterior made my mouth water.
This is food porn at its finest; the ultimate aphrodisiac. It is sticky and messy and unapologetically delicious. This is what you feed to your lover in bed, not caring that the chocolate oozes out and drips onto their chin and the crumbs fall into the sheets.
Though this combination sounds scrumptious, you could easily replace the kumquats with with pecans, coconut, rum-glazed bananas or any other deliciously evil combination. Or, just eschew the chocolate altogether and instead use Nutella or honey or...(fill in your ultimate sweet indulgence here).
...I'm off to take a cold shower.
