Baileys Chocolate Pots De Creme

"I received this recipe in an email for a Copycat Recipe. "Pot de creme (pronounced poh duh KREHM) is a traditional French dessert that consists of a rich, creamy custard cooked and served in small pots. The classic flavoring is vanilla but here we will be adding chocolate and Baileys for an Irish twist." Special equipment: 8 (4- to 5-ounce) Ramekins or Pots de Creme Cups.

directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Add chopped chocolate to a large bowl. Heat cream and a pinch of salt in a small pot until it just comes to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, then stir in the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Slowly drizzle the warm chocolate into the egg mixture while stirring. Strain the mixture through a sieve into another container and let cool completely (15 - 20 minutes).
  • Pour the custard mixture evenly into custard pots, baking dishes, or ramekins. Place the dishes into a deep pan and fill pan with hot water until half way up the sides of the ramekins. Tightly cover with pots de creme lids or aluminum foil poked with a few holes.
  • Bake until custard is set around edges but still slightly liquid in center (about 35 - 45 minutes). Custard will become firmer as it cools.
  • Remove pots de creme from water bath, remove lids or foil, and let cool at room temperature for about an hour. Transfer to refrigerator and cool completely (at least 3 hours). You can make these up to two days ahead of time.
  • Serve cold with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
