Easy, Delicious Pots De Creme
- 12 ounces, weight Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 4 whole Eggs, Room Temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (or Cognac, Grand Marnier, Etc.)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 8 ounces, fluid Strong Hot Coffee
- First thing to do is to take your eggs out of the refrigerator ahead of time and let them come to room temperature before starting.
- When eggs are at room temperature you can begin by placing the chocolate chips into a blender. Follow this with the eggs and the vanilla (or liqueur). Add a pinch of salt. Turn on the blender.
- While it is blending, remove the circular disk from the blender lid and very slowly pour in 8 ounces of strong, VERY HOT coffee. It is essential that your coffee be extremely hot in order for the final product to be the right consistency and texture.
- Blend for a minute or so until mixture is smooth and fairly free of visible bits of chocolate.
- Pour the mixture into your serving glasses or little demitasse cups, leaving plenty of room to add a heap of whipped cream later.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours so the mixture has a chance to set.
- Garnish with whipped cream and maybe a chocolate curl or two and you have an easy, delicious and yes, elegant, dessert!
