Method

For the Pot de Crème

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Mixture

    In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and heavy cream. Place over a pot of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale. Gradually mix in the milk and espresso. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture while whisking continuously.

  3. 3

    Bake the Pot de Crème

    Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes until just set. Cool and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
