Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 1/2 to 7 ounces orange-flavored bittersweet chocolate such as Lindt Excellence Intense Orange, finely chopped
6 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
Equipment: 8 (4- to 5-ounce) ramekins
Accompaniment: whipped cream

Steps:

  • Bring cream, milk, and cinnamon to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until melted.
  • Whisk together yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt, then whisk in chocolate mixture. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F with rack in middle. Line a roasting pan with a folded kitchen towel and put ramekins on towel.
  • Divide custard among ramekins and add enough boiling-hot water to pan to reach halfway up them. Cover pan tightly with foil and poke a few holes in it. Carefully transfer pan to oven and bake until custards are set around edge but slightly wobbly in center, about 30 minutes.
  • Cool custards on a rack, uncovered, about 1 hour, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours.

The pots de crème were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend serving them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

The only thing I would change about the recipe is to use a little less sugar. I found the pots de crème to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
