Mocha Pots de Crème
The gentle heat of the steamer makes
cooking custards foolproof!
Makes 4 servings
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly
chopped
1 tablespoon instant espresso
4 large egg yolks
1
3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1. Put the cream and milk in a small saucepan set
over medium heat until hot and bubbly around
the edges.
2. Put the chopped chocolate and espresso into
a medium stainless steel bowl. Pour the hot
cream mixture over the chocolate and let sit for
1 to 2 minutes. Stir together until chocolate is
completely melted. Set aside.
3. Put the yolks, sugar and vanilla extract into a
bowl and whisk together until yolks are pale
yellow and thick.
4. While whisking the egg mixture continuously,
slowly pour in the chocolate mixture until fully
incorporated.
5. Strain the custard base through a ne mesh
strainer. Scoop off any foam and discard.
Divide evenly among four, 5-ounce ramekins.
Cover each one with foil and arrange the
ramekins on the steaming tray in the steamer
and replace the lid. Select Manual, set timer for
25 minutes and press Start.
6. Once timer expires, allow the custards to
remain in the steamer for 1 additional minute.
Transfer the custards to a tray—they will be
jiggly in the center. Allow to cool to room
temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to
chill, or up to 2 days.
