Chocolate Pot De Crème Recipe French
Description
Chocolate Pot de Crème is a quintessential French dessert that's rich, indulgent, and surprisingly easy to make. It's a custard-like dessert that's made with eggs, cream, and chocolate. It's usually served in individual ramekins, so each person can get their own individual portion. This classic French treat has an irresistibly smooth and creamy texture and a rich, intense flavor that's perfect for any special occasion.
Prep Time
This Chocolate Pot de Crème recipe requires about 10 minutes of preparation time. You'll need to separate the egg yolks from the whites, melt the chocolate, and whisk the ingredients together.
Cook Time
Once the ingredients are prepped, this dessert cooks in the oven for about 20 minutes. The custards should be just set, with a slight jiggle in the center.
Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease 6 (6-ounce) ramekins. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips, stirring occasionally. Once the chocolate is melted, add it to the egg yolk and sugar mixture and whisk until combined. Add the cream, vanilla extract, and salt and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a water bath and bake for 20 minutes. The custards should be just set, with a slight jiggle in the center. Let cool completely before serving.
Equipment
- 6 (6-ounce) ramekins
- Medium-sized bowl
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Baking dish
Notes
Be sure to use a water bath when baking the custards. This will help keep the custards from curdling. If the custards start to bubble while they're baking, remove them from the oven immediately.
