Ree Drummond's Pots de Creme

By jojomail1

From Food Network Magazine Chocolate Edition. Takes 20 minutes total, plus chilling. From the Pioneer Woman Cooks Food from my Frontier.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 large eggs at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 8 ounces (1 cup) very strong coffee
• 1 cup whipped cream (or make with 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar)

Preparation

Step 1

Place the chocolate chips in the blender. Crack in eggs, then add vanilla and salt. Pulse 5-7 times or until the chocolate chips are partially pulverized.
Turn on the blender, then pour in the very hot coffee through the hole in the top in a steady stream. The coffee will melt the chocolate and turn it into a smooth mixture. Pour the mixture into small jars or cups. Place on a tray and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm. Top each with whipped cream.
