Pots de Creme is the ultimate chocolate pudding. If you like chocolate you will forking love this recipe. It’s dense and smooth and so chocolatey. I’ve found that this is a crowd pleaser. It’s the best forking chocolate pudding in the whole world kind of chocolate pudding. You can make Pots de Creme in an oven with a water bath but this recipe I like better. I slightly changed this recipe from Food Network Magazine. I found that this is the best way to make Pots de Creme because it’s fool prof and anybody can make this indulgent delicious dessert.
Ingredients makes about 8 servings
12 oz semi sweet chocolate chopped or just use semi sweet chocolate chips and purchase a quality brand
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
6 extra large egg yolks
5 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
Directions
Put chocolate in a container that holds your blending wand or a blender. Whisk milk, cream, yolks and sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat until thickened and almost boiling. Pour mixture over the chocolate and blend. Pour into cups and chill in refrigerator over night.
You want to serve these topped with whipped cream. I found that guest prefer to use a can of Ready Whip but for home use you will want to prepare your own fresh whipped cream.
You only need 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 Tablespoon 10x sugar and just whip it. Wa la Whipped Cream!
It’s normally served in a coffee kind of cup but I only have 4 because I don’t drink coffee so…. I think Espresso Cups would be idea to use.
