Chocolate Pots De Creme

By draingal

This was a recipe shared during a class at LCCC.

Ingredients

• 1 pt. milk
• 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate
• 7 oz. sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 oz. coffee liqueur
• 7 egg yolks

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the milk just to a simmer. Add the chocolate and sugar. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts; do not allow the mixture to boil. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and liqueur.
Whisk the egg yolks together, then slowly whisk them into the chocolate mixture.
Pour the custard into ramekins. Place the ramekins in a hotel pan and add enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake at 325 degrees until the custards are almost set in the center - about 30 minutes. Remove from the water bath and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Serve garnished with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
