Chocolate pot de crème

By Mmabatho Molefe

Serves 6-8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20–30 minutes, plus 1–2 hours’ setting time

Cooking Time 20–30 minutes

Ingredients

200 g milk chocolate
200 g dark chocolate
1 1⁄4 cups milk
2 cups cream
40 g sugar
5 free-range egg yolks

Method

1. Melt the chocolate in a double-boiler and set aside. Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. Whisk the sugar and egg yolks, then slowly add to the milk and cream, taking care not to scramble the eggs.

3. Cook until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Strain the custard and slowly mix with the melted chocolate. Blend until emulsified, then chill in moulds until set. Serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, mascarpone or a biscuit crumb.
