Pots de Creme
(Yield: 6 to 10 servings - Prep: 20 min)
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 ounces (1 cup) very hot strong coffee
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon sugar
Directions:
Place the chocolate chips in the blender.
Crack in the eggs, then add the vanilla and
the salt. Pulse 5 to 7 times, or until the
chocolate chips are partially pulverized.
Turn on the blender, then pour in the very
hot coffee through the hole in the top
in a
steady stream.The coffee will melt
the chocolote and turn it into a
smooth mixture.
Pour the mixture into small mason
jars, pretty wine glasses or demi-
tass cups. Place the jars on a
tray and refrigerate them for 2 to
3 hours, or until firm.
Whip the cream with the sugar
and plop it onto the top of
each glass.
