Finally, an easy recipe for Chocolate Pot de Creme. It’s simple, sweet and tastes decadent. The perfect Valentine’s Day dessert, and not a moment too soon.
When Chris and I enjoy dinner out, we often share a dessert and have a few go to’s like bread pudding, creme brûlée and pot de creme. If I’m having dessert in lieu of a glass of wine or have to extend a workout to fit in the extra calories, it has to be worth it. And believe me, these little ramekins of love are absolutely worth it.
I felt a little intimidated to recreate pot de creme because it felt time consuming and fussy, so I dumbed down the New York Times Extra-Bittersweet Chocolate Pots de Creme recipe into an easy, more palatable version that I can’t keep my spoon out of. It takes just 15 minutes hands on time!
I took photos step by step to show you just how easy it is!
This pot de creme is so quick and effortless, but tastes like you labored all day. Hey, I like Chris to think I work, really hard.
