Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.

  2. 2

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and a pinch of salt. Gradually add about a cup of the hot chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mixture

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

  5. 5

    Strain and Chill

    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into individual ramekins or cups. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
