Honey Sweetened Chocolate Pots de Creme
I love my blender.
Last night I was craving something sweet, but didn’t want to put too much effort in. And then I discovered I could make pots de creme with my blender. It was really fast. About 10 minutes to make the recipe, and 45 to chill in the fridge.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz baking chocolate (unsweetened)
- 3/4 cup cream (sub coconut milk for dairy free or paleo)
Directions:
- Set the cream to heat on the stove (try to take it off the burner just before boiling)
- Chop chocolate
- Mix eggs, honey, vanilla, and espresso powder in the blender
- Add chocolate
- Pour hot cream over the chocolate
- Blend (I used ice cream mode on mine)
- Pour into ramekins (2 of these guys, or 4 of these)
- Refrigerate
Using ice cream mode on my BlendTec (have I mentioned I love that thing?), even the un-chilled pots de creme were edible. The blender thickened them up into a very rick chocolate pudding.
This makes for a rich dark chocolate, slightly on the bitter side. You can easily add whipped cream to the finished product if you want it sweeter (or have a significant other who would want it sweeter).
