Mocha Pots de Crème

I love all things coffee flavored! This exceptional dessert takes the chocolate pots de crème recipe to the next level with a splash of mocha! Top a dollop of homemade whipped cream or chopped hazelnuts for texture and crunch to each creamy and rich serving!  

Serves: 5

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 and 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder

  • 2 large egg yolks

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

     

  1. Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Put on a kettle of water to boil. In a medium saucepan, bring cream and sugar to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; add chocolate and espresso powder. Let stand 1 minute; stir until chocolate melts and coffee dissolves. Whisk in yolks and vanilla until mixture is blended and smooth.
     

  2. Pour chocolate mixture into 2 (6-ounce) heart-shaped or round ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in an 8-inch-square baking pan. Pour hot water into pan so that it comes halfway up sides of ramekins.
     

  3. Bake 25 minutes or until almost set in centers. Remove ramekins to a wire rack; cool slightly. Serve warm and soft, or refrigerate up to 1 day.
