Pots de Creme

This has been a Valentine Day favorite for years.

1 oz. unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces
1/2 cup cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
whipped cream topping (homemade or store bought)

 

Combine chocolate pieces and cream in a medium saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk until chocolate flecks disappear and mixture is hot. Add sugar and continue cooking and stirring until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat; gradually add to beaten egg yolk, stirring constantly.


Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into pretty bowls or glasses, cover with plastic wrap directly on surface of chocolate.


Chill several hours or until set. Garnish with whipped topping.


Serves 2.
