Pot de Creme

I am not a sweet lover, but I will never turn away a good dessert. Tonight I had our pot de creme made with dark chocolate and caramel topped with sea salt. Wow is it good, small but very decadent and extremely satisfying. Here is a simplified chocolate pdc recipe:

1/2 C whole milk
1/2 C heavy cream
6 oz dark chocolate
3 egg yolks
1 T sugar
1 t vanilla

-in heavy bottomed saucepan, gently heat milk, cream, sugar and chocolate. Be sure to stir frequently so the chocolate doesn't burn.
-while mixture is heating, mix yolks and vanilla
-once chocolate is melted, temper yolks and gently stir back into saucepan
-stir constantly until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Pour into coffee cups and let cool

Enjoy...
