Dessert: Chocolate Pots de Crème with Vanilla Ice Cream
Recipe by Colin Cowie Recipe courtesy of Colin Cowie. Another dessert that looks elaborate but can be prepared and chilled well in advance.
Ingredients
4 oz. good-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
1 c. heavy or whipping cream
1/2 c. milk
4 large egg yolks
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 pt. fresh raspberries
1 qt. vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Place chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and milk just to a boil. Add to chocolate; whisk until mixture is smooth and chocolate is melted. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 10 espresso (or other small) cups in a large roasting pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until blended but not foamy. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture until blended. Strain custard through a 1-quart sieve set over a large glass measuring cup.
Pour a scant 1/4 cup custard into each espresso cup. Place pan with cups on center oven rack; carefully pour enough hot water into pan so it reaches halfway up sides of cups. Bake until custards are set in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer custards to a cooling rack; cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 1 hour. Top with raspberries and ice cream.
