CHOCOLAT POTS DE CREME

CHOCOLAT POTS DE CREME

Chocolat Pots De Creme

Sometimes I am looking for a recipe that is simple, elegant and refined. I found this wonderful chocolate dessert on Pinterest a few months ago. It is hard to believe that it only takes a few minutes to make and it is all done in the blender!

Pots De Creme means pots of custard and is a classic French dessert. Here is the recipe. Hope your guests think you have slaved hours in the kitchen and you'd be a fool to tell them otherwise! Just kidding. I know you will want to share this recipe. Oh, by the way, I did change it around a bit. I used 4 oz of the semisweet and 4 oz of the bittersweet chocolate chips. Nice blend. The recipe originally called for 8 oz of either one.

Ingredients:

4 oz. Semisweet chocolate chips
4 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
3 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
¼ t. ground cardamom
pinch salt
5 oz hot coffee

Method:

l. Combine chocolate hips, eggs, vanilla, and ground cardamom in the blender on medium speed til fully combined.
2. While blender is running, remove the funnel cap from top and pour hot coffee into the mixture slowly. The coffee must be very hot.
3. Mix for 1 minute till smooth
4. Divide into 4 small cups
Chill in fridge til set-about 4 hours. I served mine with a dob of whipped cream.

  2. Oh.
    My.

    This looks and sounds delicious! And simple, too, indeed! Now ... I must hunt down solid chocolate that I can trust. Of course, I'm thinking of how I might adapt this to using cocoa... :) THANKS for sharing!
