Chocolate Pots De Creme


This is an easy to make dessert which involves no bake too. It has a texture similar to a mousse. It’s real rich and just melts in your mouth.

Ingredients
  • 3 ½  ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • ¾  cups whole milk
  • ¾  cups heavy cream
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • ¼  tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. confectioners' sugar

Whisk the milk, ½ cup cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the spatula and almost boiling, 5 to 6 minutes.

Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate. Either you can mix well with a spatula or you can mix them in a blender in the blender. Divide the chocolate mixture among ramekins/ small tea cups and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pots de creme with whipped cream.

I served it in tea cups….. !!!!
