Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pistachios
40 grams confectioners' sugar (about 1/3 cup)
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus a pinch
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
115 grams extra-bittersweet chocolate (about 72 percent cocoa), chopped (about 2/3 cup)
4 large egg yolks
45 grams granulated sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast 5 minutes. Let the pistachios cool, then transfer to a food processor, with the confectioners' sugar and salt. Process until it has the consistency of damp sand, about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream and .75 cup of the pistachio mixture (reserve the rest for garnish). Simmer 5 minutes; remove from heat, cover and let stand 20 minutes. Return the pot to the heat and return to a simmer.
  • Place the chocolate in a large bowl. Strain the pistachio cream through a fine-mesh sieve over the chocolate; press down on the pistachio solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much flavor as possible. Whisk until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yolks, granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Whisking constantly, pour in the hot chocolate mixture until combined. Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce ramekins. Transfer ramekins to a baking dish that fits them snugly. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil and prick foil with a fork. Bake until the pots de crème are set but jiggle slightly when nudged, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm. Serve topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of the reserved pistachios.

The texture of these pots de crème was a bit grainy. I think I overcooked them. I'll try again and cook them for less time.

These pots de crème were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.
