Ingredients
For the Pot de Creme
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3 egg large yolks
- Pinch salt
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
For the Frosting
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
- 1/3 cup coconut flaked
Instructions
- Whisk the milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, egg yolks, and salt together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spatula.
- Place the chocolate in the bowl of a countertop blender. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the chocolate. Securely attach the blender lid before puréeing the mixture to a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Divide the liquid into four small ramekins or dishes. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
To Make the Frosting
- Combine the evaporated milk, brown sugar, egg yolk, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until thick, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the pecans and coconut. Cool to room temperature. Spoon the frosting onto the tops of the chilled pot de crème. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe makes four servings; however, I consolidated the pot de crème into two servings for the pictures.
- To store your Easy Chocolate Pots de Crème, cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- I wouldn’t recommend freezing them, as it can mess with the creamy texture. No need to reheat—these are best enjoyed chilled, but if you like, let them sit out for 10-15 minutes before digging in.
