Chocolate Pots de Creme
This chocolate pots de creme is a delicious and decadent dessert for four. However, it's so rich you may want to share one between two people.
Ingredients
- 9 oz chocolate chips ~ 1 3/4 cups
- 1/2 cup milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Heat milk, cream, and salt in a heavy saucepan to a simmer.
- Then remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl whisk eggs and sugar.
- Add chocolate and cream mixture to the eggs. Mix well.
- Pour into 4, 6-ounce ramekins
- Set the ramekins in another deep baking pan filled halfway with water.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until they somewhat set but still slightly jiggly in the middle.
- Remove from the oven.
- After a minute or two remove ramekins from water and let cool.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate bits.
Notes
Note these are pretty large ramekins. You could easily make double the amount with smaller cups or share one between two people.
