Chocolate Creme Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Melt the Chocolate

Chop dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

2

Mix the Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Slowly add a small amount of the chocolate mixture to the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.

3

Combine Mixtures

Gradually whisk the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the remaining chocolate mixture. Add vanilla extract and almond extract, stirring until well combined.

4

Chill the Creme

Pour the chocolate creme into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

5

Garnish and Serve

Before serving, sprinkle the top of each chocolate creme with sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
