Milk-Chocolate Pots de Crème
Recipe from: foodandwine.com/recipes/milk-chocolate-pots-de-creme
10 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
5 large egg yolks
For serving:
Sour cream whipped cream (recipe below)
Chocolate shavings, for garnish
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the milk and bittersweet chocolates.
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream and sugar to a boil, whisking constantly until the sugar is dissolved. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in half of the hot cream. Whisk the egg and cream mixture into the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the custard coats the back of the spoon, about 4 minutes. Pour the custard over the chocolate and let stand for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and puree until very smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into eight 4-ounce ramekins and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Let the pots de crème stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Garnish with sour cream whipped cream and chocolate shavings; serve.
Sour Cream whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup sour cream or crème fraiche
2-4 tablespoons powdered sugar
Combine heavy cream, sour cream and as much powdered sugar as desired in a bowl. Whip until medium peaks form. Adjust sweetness if desired.
