No Bake Chocolate Pôts De Crème
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
- 7 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Place the chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.
- Bring the cream and milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk about 1 cup of the cream mixture into the yolks. Slowly whisk the yolks back into the cream mixture.
- Return the pan to low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon with a thin film, and registers 175 to 180 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl with the chocolate and let stand for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk the mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla and then divide evenly among six 6-ounce ramekins.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
