Chocolate Pots De Crème
- 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- In a food processor or blender, whirl chocolate until finely chopped. Pour into a bowl.
- Add the egg to the food processor or blender.
- In a 2-cup glass measure, heat whipping cream in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until cream boils, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- With processor or blender on high speed, add boiling cream to egg. Check temperature of mixture with an instant-read thermometer; if below 160u0b0, pour mixture back into glass measure and reheat in microwave oven at full power just until it reaches 160u0b0, stirring and checking at 15-second intervals.
- Combine hot cream mixture and chopped chocolate in blender or processor; whirl until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour chocolate mixture into 4 or 5 ramekins (1/2-cup size). Chill until softly set, 30 to 45 minutes.
