Chocolate-Raspberry Pots de Creme


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours, 15 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
  1. FOR THE POTS DE CREME –
  2. 1/2 cup milk
  3. 1/2 cup half and half
  4. 1/2 cup heavy cream
  5. 6 egg yolks
  6. 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  7. 1 tablespoon raspberry (or vanilla) extract
  8. pinch salt
  9. FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM –
  10. 1 cup Cascadian Farm frozen raspberries
  11. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  12. 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat milk, half and half and heavy cream until scalding (or until small bubbles form on top). Whisk egg yolks in a large bowl.
  2. Remove milk mixture from heat; while whisking constantly, very slowly add milk mixture to egg yolks. When milk mixture and egg yolks are fully incorporated, return to saucepan and whisk over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove mixture from heat; whisk in chocolate chips, raspberry extract and salt until smooth. Divide mixture among 4 to 6 4-oz ramekins (depending on how big you want your servings). Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: Blend frozen raspberries in a food processor until a puree forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in sugar; set aside.
  5. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in raspberry mixture.
  6. Top pots de creme with whipped cream just before serving.
