- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 6 egg yolks
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, could use dark chocolate too, chopped (or use squares)
- 4 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate, could use milk chocolate too, chopped (or use squares)
- whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish
For the Pot de Crème:
In a medium saucepan set to medium heat add the smoked milk mixture, then add the egg yolks, sugar, and salt and whisk. Continue whisking, constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. You’re looking for it to coat a spoon thickly. Do not let this come to a boil! Approx 5 mins. (alternatively you could mix this over a double boiler to ensure it does not come to a boil).
Place chocolate pieces in a blender. Add the warm custard mixture to the chocolate, cover and blend until smooth.
Pour equally into 8 ramekins (or small bowls) and place into refrigerator until chilled and set (about 2 hours).
Remove from fridge and serve with chocolate shavings and whipped cream.
