Photo: Pots de Creme Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 ounces (1 cup) very hot strong coffee
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Directions
Place the chocolate chips in the blender. Crack in the eggs, then add the vanilla and the salt. Pulse 5 to 7 times, or until the chocolate chips are partially pulverized.
Turn on the blender, then pour in the very hot coffee through the hole in the top in a steady stream. The coffee will melt the chocolate and turn it into a smooth mixture.
Pour the mixture into small mason jars, pretty wine glasses or demitasse cups. Place the jars on a tray and refrigerate them for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm.
Whip the cream with the sugar and plop it onto the top of each glass.

Not sure how this recipe could be easier or more delicious! I followed the recipe to a t (brewed the coffee, then microwaved it for 1 min to be sure it was extra hot and it worked just perfect! I think when I make it again I may try and substitute a liquor for the vanilla extract (maybe a Grand Marnier or Frangellico??. I served this for 7 major foodies tonight and it was gone in a flash and everyone loved it! Definitely make this, you cant go wrong with it!

Sooooo delicious! I added probably a tbsp or two of bakers sugar after making it according to the recipe, the coffee I used was just a little too strong, and then about three tbsp of chambord, probably the best idea I've had in a while haha I can't stop sneaking to the fridge and taking little spoonfuls!

Loved this recipe, I used half semi-sweet and half bittersweet chocolate chips because I didn't have a whole package of semi-sweet, my husband loved it. Having a dinner party and I am making this for dessert.
