Chocolate pots de creme is sort of the French version of American chocolate pudding (only not at all).
Over the weekend, we were invited to dinner by friends. It was a bit of a last minute thing and I did’t want to show up empty handed. I didn’t have a lot of time or ingredients, but after a quick inventory of the kitchen, I was able to whip these up in no time.
This is my version of the Chocolate pots de creme are made in silicone tea cups ( click here to get a set of your own).
It’s a rich, creamy, and luxurious dessert that can be thrown together easily, but gives an impressive presentation. I was making this for a family friendly evening, but for grown ups, add a couple of tablespoons of your favorite liqueur for an added indulgence.
