The making of chicken tikka chocolate
In the video, a man walks viewers through the process of creating this unusual dessert. The clip begins with him sprinkling food colouring into a chocolate mould. He then pours white chocolate into the silicone container, coating the mould with a generous layer of melted chocolate. What happens next is where the recipe takes an unexpected turn: he fills the mould with chicken tikka filling before sealing it with another layer of chocolate.
After a few hours in the freezer, the bizarre fusion treat is unveiled. The creator ends the clip with a taste test, describing his thoughts on the combination. The caption accompanying the video asked, "What Are Your Thoughts On Chicken Tikka Chocolate?"
