Chocolate Pots de Crème
Chocolate Pots de Crème - an easy make-ahead dessert pudding that is just as good chilled from the day before or eaten warm out of the oven; use your favorite good quality chocolate.
Servings: 6 ramekins
Calories: 243kcal
Ingredients
- 1 13.5 oz can full-fat coconut milk 1 1/2 cups
- 6 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped small
- 6 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar maple crystals, or sucanat (low glycemic brown sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 6 ramekins (1/3 to 1/2 cup size) inside of a tall sided baking pan lined with paper towel so that they sit flat.
- Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the chocolate until the color is even and no longer streaky. Set aside.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar vigorously in a large bowl until smooth, 3 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the chocolate milk. Stir slowly so as not to create bubbles. Strain through a fine sieve and divide equally among the ramekins.
- Pull the middle rack of the oven out and test it for stability. Place the baking tray on top and pour boiling water into the pan until the water-line goes halfway up the ramekins. Cover the whole dish tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes, until the custards are nearly set but still jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and if they still jiggle a lot, leave them in the hot water bath, covered, for 10 minutes. If serving immediately, let them cool on the counter or chill until ready to serve.
