We are all about chocolate around here! Honestly, if it’s chocolate, it doesn’t last very long in our house! Any kind, any form, we’re fans. So when I found this recipe, I knew I had to make it and share it with you.
It’s decadent, indulgent, and oh-so-rich. Definitely a splurge dessert, not an everyday treat (though I admit, it’s tempting!). But once in a while? Absolutely worth it. Shhh . . . I won’t tell anyone.
Chocolate Pots de Crème Recipe
Ingredients
- 9 ounces high-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 6 large egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar (add 1 more tablespoon if using bitter chocolate)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Place the chopped chocolate in a blender.
- In a saucepan, whisk the milk, 1 cup cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and almost boils (about 5–6 minutes).
- Immediately pour the hot mixture over the chocolate in the blender. Cover tightly with a towel over the lid and blend until smooth. Scrape sides if needed.
- Divide the mixture among ramekins or small cups (it’s rich, so keep servings small). Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- Whip the remaining ½ cup cream with the confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top each pot de crème with a dollop of whipped cream.
That’s it! Easy, decadent, and dangerously delicious.
