Chocolate Pot De Crème Recipe

Chocolate Pot De Crème

1. 1

   Prepare the Chocolate

   Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Heat the Cream and Milk

   In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, then remove from heat.

3. 3

   Mix the Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the yolks. Once combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

5. 5

   Cook the Mixture

   Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Melt the Chocolate

   Pour the warm mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

7. 7

   Chill the Pot De Crème

   Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
