Ingredients:
- 4 oz (115g) 70% cocoa dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (I love Lindt) 🍫
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream 🥛
- 1/4 cup (50g) caster/granulated sugar 🧂
- 1/8 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Chocolate:
Begin by adding the coarsely chopped dark chocolate to a large heat-proof bowl. Set it aside as you prepare the cream mixture.
2️⃣ Heat the Cream Mixture:
In a microwave-safe bowl or jug, combine the heavy cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture on high for 1 minute (at 800W). After stirring, heat for an additional 30 seconds until the mixture is just hot but not boiling.
3️⃣ Combine Chocolate and Cream:
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Allow it to sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate. Then, whisk together until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is thick and silky smooth.
4️⃣ Set the Dessert:
Evenly divide the chocolate mixture between three 4-ounce ramekins. Cover them and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, allowing the dessert to set properly.
5️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, garnish your Chocolate Pots de Crème with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence. Enjoy!
