Maple Chipotle Dipping Sauce

Sauces · 10 min · Serves 8 · Easy · Best with Dark Robust maple syrup

A bold, smoky sauce that balances the heat of chipotle peppers with the deep sweetness of dark maple syrup. Perfect for dipping chicken tenders, drizzling over tacos, or spreading on burgers.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Dark Robust maple syrup
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers in adobo)
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste

Method

  1. Add the mayonnaise to a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk in the maple syrup, adobo sauce, and minced chipotle pepper until smooth.
  3. Add the lime juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
  4. Taste and season with salt. Add more chipotle for heat or more maple syrup for sweetness.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together.
Tip: Dark Robust maple syrup is the right choice here — its bold, caramel-forward flavor stands up to the smoky chipotle and keeps the sauce from tasting flat or one-dimensional.
