<ul class="ingredients-main-list">
<li class="ingredients-single-item">8 slider buns (brioche works best)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">500g quality ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1 medium beetroot, peeled and thinly sliced</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">150g cheese slices (cheddar or gouda)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1 tbsp olive oil</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">2 tbsp butter, for toasting buns</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">For the choco-coffee sauce:</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">60ml strong brewed coffee</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">2 tbsp brown sugar</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">30g unsalted butter</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1/4 tsp vanilla extract</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">Pinch of sea salt</li>
</ul>
<ol class="no-list-style">
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
First, let's prepare the beetroot. Place your peeled and thinly sliced beetroot in a small saucepan, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until tender but still holding its shape. Drain and set aside to cool. This can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge if you'd like.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Now for our star component - the choco-coffee sauce. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), add the chopped dark chocolate, brewed coffee, brown sugar, and butter. Stir occasionally until everything is melted and well combined, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Let it cool slightly - it will thicken as it cools but still remain pourable. If it gets too thick, you can gently rewarm it.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
For the beef patties, divide your ground beef into 8 equal portions (about 60-65g each). Gently form them into balls, then flatten into patties slightly larger than your slider buns, as they'll shrink when cooking. Press your thumb gently into the center of each patty to create a small indent - this prevents them from puffing up during cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Heat your olive oil in a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until nicely browned. Flip them over, place a slice of cheese on top of each (you might need to cut them to fit), and cook for another 2 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well done. Remove to a plate and tent loosely with foil to rest.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Meanwhile, split your slider buns and lightly butter the cut sides. In the same pan (after removing excess fat), place the buns cut-side down and toast until golden brown, about 30-60 seconds. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly!
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Time to assemble your Choco Coffee Burgers! On each bottom bun, place a beetroot slice (pat it dry if it's still wet), then add the beef patty with melted cheese. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the choco-coffee sauce over each patty, allowing it to drip down the sides. If the sauce has thickened too much, warm it slightly. Top with the other half of the bun.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>
Serve immediately while still warm, perhaps with some extra choco-coffee sauce on the side for dipping. The combination of savory beef, sweet earthy beetroot, melted cheese and the rich chocolate-coffee sauce creates an explosion of flavors in every bite. Enjoy this unique culinary adventure!

Guilty Chef FAQ for
Parker's
Choco Coffee Burger Recipe
What ingredients are used in Choco Coffee Burger from Parker's?
Parker's signature Choco Coffee Burger features slider buns (preferably brioche), quality ground beef, beetroot slices, cheese (cheddar or gouda), and the unique choco-coffee sauce made from dark chocolate, strong coffee, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and sea salt.
How to cook Choco Coffee Burger from Parker's at home?
Learn how to cook Choco Coffee Burger from Parker's by first simmering beetroot slices until tender, preparing the signature chocolate-coffee sauce over a bain-marie, forming and cooking beef patties to your preferred doneness, toasting buttered brioche buns, then assembling with layers of beetroot, cheese-topped patties, and drizzled chocolate-coffee sauce.
Why does chocolate work well with beef in a burger?
Chocolate, especially dark varieties, contains rich, bitter notes that complement beef's savoury profile—similar to how it works in Mexican mole sauces. The cocoa enhances umami flavours while adding depth and complexity. When balanced with coffee, it creates a sophisticated counterpoint to the meat.
What's the best cheese to use for sweet-savoury burger recipes?
For sweet-savoury burger combinations, mild but flavourful cheeses work best. Gouda offers caramel notes that complement chocolate, while cheddar provides a sharp contrast. Avoid overpowering blue cheeses or bland varieties. The cheese should melt well and balance the competing flavours.
Can I prepare the choco-coffee sauce ahead of time?
Yes, the choco-coffee sauce can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to use, gently reheat it in a microwave in short bursts or over a bain-marie until it reaches a pourable consistency.
