Pots de Creme

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Mixture

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Combine Egg Yolks and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Temper the Egg Yolks

    Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

  4. 4

    Add Kirsch

    Stir in the Kirsch until well combined.

  5. 5

    Strain and Pour

    Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into individual ramekins or pots. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
