Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 oz (56g) milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 2 oz (56g) dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup (66g) caster/white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (120ml) double/heavy cream
- Grated chocolate and extra whipped cream to serve, optional
Instructions
- Place pieces of chocolate into the bottom of a blender.
- Place egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, milk and cream into a medium sized saucepan and whisk briefly to combine.
- Place over a medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
- Once the mixture is gently bubbling away, turn the heat down to low and stir gently until the mixture is thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate in the blender.
- Pulse the mixture until completely smooth and thick. Make sure there are no lumps of chocolate.
- Spray two 6oz ramekins lightly with cooking spray and then divide the chocolate mixture between the ramekins. Leave to cool for 30 minutes and then place in the fridge for 2-2 1/2 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and grate some chocolate on top, if desired.
- Chocolate Pots de Creme are best eaten on the day you make them, but will keep in the fridge, covered, for one day.
