Pour mixture over the chocolate in blender. Cover and hold the lid with a towel, blend until combined and smooth, scraping the sides until well blended. Divide into serving dishes. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks. Top the chilled pots and sprinkle with shaved chocolate.
