Chocolate Coconut Pots De Creme
"This is the world’s best dessert. I think I’ve been searching for it ever since I was born, and the desire to taste this kind of magnificence is what has led me to spend so many hours of my life in the kitchen.
More than anything else I love chocolate. And I really love soft, succulent, rich and melty chocolate with a high fat content and a deep, intense but sweet flavor. Before I created this dessert I always had to choose between flavor and texture, it seems I could never get the exact right combination…until now.
It is even richer than a silk pie, more luscious than a mouse, far richer than pudding, and infinitely more delicious than just plain chocolate. If chocolate had a soul, this would be it. From:

OH MY. This was amazing. Like eating cool silk. I'll be asked to make this over and over, and I will gladly serve it to company. I found it to be very rich, enough so that I left some of mine and snuck back later to finish it! It wasn't awfully sweet, which I prefer. No one would ever guess it's so easy to make. We could taste the coconut, and since we love coconut that was a good thing, too! I used full fat coconut milk, a mid-price solid dark chocolate, and added a pinch of espresso powder along with the cinnamon and nutmeg. A real keeper. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Made for PAC Spring 2012. -
These were very good! Perfect if you don't like things that are very rich. These are not super sweet, either. There is a very, very slight taste of coconut, so I'm not sure if I would serve them to someone who doesn't like coconut. Overall, these were delicious!

<p>I am a 'Zaar addict. I spent SO many hours browsing and researching recipes. I love to bake and I love the fact that I can find -any- recipe here (who needs a cookbook?. I do cakes as a small side business -- wedding cakes being my fav. I used to teach cake decorating classes, but I am taking a break right now because I was feeling super crazy busy. I have recently lost 35 pounds through Weight Watchers (such an awesome program, so I am always looking for ways to lighten up recipes so that those 35 pounds -stay- off.</p>
