Very easy to make and great results. Resist the temptation to put it into bigger cups. The demitasse size is perfect. I added a bit of vanilla as well as the rum. Next time I'll try some strong coffee for a mocha flavor.

6 years ago, I put the TV on pause while I made this recipe along with Rachel and WOW was it ever good. SOOOO easy and people think you slaved for hours! I made it twice in 3 days at that time and then have made it several times since. It does take longer to chill through than 30 minutes though- but it's good enough to drink too! I've added a bit of heavy cream to the milk as well since I had it on hand. Memorize this recipe and throw out your other pot-de-creme recipes!! ***Addendum 6 years later- Still making this wonderful recipe. Have used either Frangelico, Grand Marnier, or rum for the liquers at different times. All good, especially Frangelico or rum. Also, I have used other milks other than whole- like 1 or 2 percent from time to time. The desserts still set up very well since it's the egg and chocolate that bind them. Ghirardelli BITTERSWEET chocolate chips are used each time for a very deep chocolate flavor. 3x recipe yields 14 demitasse servings.

Like others have said, this is a WOW dessert for so little effort. I'm looking forward to making this again but this time with a different twist. Now I have a toddler granddaughter who unfortunately has allergies to dairy and eggs. I will use soy creamer and egg substitute and dairy-free chocolate chips. I discovered this recipe many years ago, and I still remember how happy I was with it following the original recipe. I like putting it in little demitasse cups b/c it's rich enough that you don't want too much more than that--a nice sweet ending to any meal. What's also great is that it's a make-ahead dessert--do it the day before, refrigerate, pull it out when ready. How easy is that!

This is the greatest and QUICKEST dessert ever! Important to allow enough chilling time...and don't tell anyone. Friends were digging in before it set. I made these for my Mother's 80th birthday party, had a car accident, didn't make it. Sick I missed the party, sicker they missed the dessert.

After having been to Paris and enjoying their "Pot au Chocolate," I thought this would be a simple dessert, but maybe not quite as good. WRONG!! I have made it now, several times, and get rave reviews each and every time. Everyone says it is so rich and decadent (as the title says and two people usually share one serving! I'm not generally a big chocolate fan, but this dessert I will enjoy time and time again. It takes mere minutes to make, and is absolutely fabulous!

Wow....this is so easy and so good. I subbed out the milk for fat-free half and half and it turned out perfectly. Rather than the demitasse cups I served it in martini glasses garnished with a slice of strawberry on the rim. i also topped it with canned Reddi-whip, a drizzle of the Frangelico, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips. It looked and tasted like a high-end restaurant dessert. I want to try it with peanut butter chips next time, just for fun. I almost died when I realized the fat/calorie content though. (AFTER I ate it. Definitely only to be eaten very rarely due to that.

I used block chocolate (better quality then chips. Put dollop of whip cream on each and sprinkle with confection sugar.

Better hide one for you later, your guests will not leave any. Trust me.

Good one Rachel.
