Chocolate Pops
- 6 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, minimum 70 percent cocoa solids
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- *1 egg
- 8 (1/4 cup) pots or custard cups
- Crush the chocolate into smithereens in the food processor.
- Heat the cream and milk until just about boiling, add the vanilla and allspice and pour through the funnel over the chocolate.
- Let stand for 30 seconds.
- Process for 30 seconds, then crack the egg down the funnel and process for 45 seconds.
- Pour into whatever little cups you're serving in, and sit them in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
- But remember to take them out of the refrigerator a good 20 minutes before you want them to be eaten; the chill interferes with their luscious, silky richness.
- This makes 2 cups altogether: enough to fill 8 little pots of approximately 1/4 cup capacity.
- But if you've got only bigger cups, just augment quantities.
