Chocolate-Mint Pots De Creme

"Courtesy of Mary Engelbreit's You're Invited Cookbook These pots de creme are simple (they're glorified chocolate pudding) yet special (the most glorious chocolate pudding). Any good liqueur can stand in for creme de menthe. Serve the pots with delicate silver teaspoons. Pinkies up!"

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • In the top of a double boiler over gently simmering water, melt the chocolate. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the half and half and cream and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
  • Place the egg yolks and creme de menthe in a blender. Pour the melted chocolate into the blender and add the cream mixture. Blend on medium speed 15 to 20 seconds, until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into eight 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups, filling each one about two-thirds full. Place the ramekins in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Place the pan in the oven and pour in enough boiling water to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake about 40 minutes, or until the custard is set.
  • Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Garnish each pot de creme with raspberries and mint leaves.

  1. These little custards turned out really creamy and delicious. I halved the recipe and wound up with 5 ramekins of pots de creme. I used Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips for this, and I think they worked well. Thanks for sharing this!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Employed with the Prosecutor's Office as a Victim Advocate for the families of homicide victims and victims of att. murder, formerly advocate for victims of domestic violence. Divorced for 27 years, have three daughters and two granddaughters. Learned to cook with my mother who made everything from scratch. Also learned to can and freeze since we had an acre or more of garden every year (dad's hobby). Really miss doing that now!!! Enjoy scrapbooking, reading, music, playing euchre, Red Hat Society, reading, making my own cards (did I mention reading?), flower gardening (spring is my favorite season), nature, old houses/buildings (such personality!). <br> <br>I am saddened by the lack of respect for human life that I see. People feel so entitled to do whatever they want without regard for someone else.
