Chocolate Pots de Crème

These Chocolate Pots de Crème are a truly decadent dessert. Chocolate, egg yolks, and just the right amount of heavy cream result in a rich chocolate custard perfect for serving guests or simply celebrating with a special someone.

I used semi-sweet chocolate in this recipe, but it is even better using 70% cacao chocolate – as long as everyone you are serving loves dark chocolate. You could even swap in milk chocolate if you want more sweetness and dislike the slightly bitter taste of dark chocolate.

Chocolate Pots de Crème

Ingredients:

4 oz Semisweet bakers chocolate, chopped
3 Large Egg yolks
1/3 Cup White sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Whipping Cream

Directions:

Place chocolate into a blender, set aside.

Whisk egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, milk and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking until it comes to a slow boil.

Turn the heat low and stir occasionally until the custard is thick enough to coat the  back of a spoon.

Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate in the blender.

Blend until completely smooth with no lumps.

Divide the chocolate custard between two 6 oz ramekins or three 4 oz ramekins.

Cover and cool in a refrigerator until set, about 3 hours.

Serve with whipped cream.
