Chocolate Pot de Crème

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chocolate Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Combine Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually add the warm chocolate mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.

  3. 3

    Bake the Pot de Crème

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the chocolate mixture into ramekins or small cups. Place them in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.

  4. 4

    Cool and Refrigerate

    Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, drizzle caramel sauce over each pot de crème, add a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with sea salt, and garnish with shaved chocolate.
