Instructions

Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl or large measuring bowl for easy pouring.
In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan whisk together the milk, cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until mixture thickens and easily coats the spatula, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the custard otherwise eggs might curdle.
Immediately pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and carefully stir with spatula to incorporate thoroughly. Pour the chocolate mixture into ramekins or small cups and refrigerate, about 2 hours minimum, to set.
Top the chilled chocolate pots de creme with optional chocolate shavings, shards or whipped cream.
