How To Make chocolate pot de crÈme

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 300ºF. In a large bowl, add chopped chocolate and set aside.
• Step 2
  In a large mixing bowl, add egg yolks, sugar and salt. Whisk until smooth and nicely mixed; set aside.
• Step 3
  In a saucepan, add heavy cream and set the heat on medium – don’t let it simmer. As soon as steam comes up and small bubbles form around the edges of the pot, remove from the heat.
• Step 4
  Slowly temper the egg mixture by adding a small amount of hot heavy cream at a time, whisking constantly. After a few ladles, pour the rest of the cream in and whisk until well incorporated.
• Step 5
  Place a fine sieve over the chocolate bowl and pour the custard through it; discard any cooked eggs.
• Step 6
  Add pure vanilla extract but if adding liqueur instead, dismiss the vanilla. Let it sit, undisturbed, for 1 minute.
• Step 7
  Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is all melted.
• Step 8
  Fill 6 ramekins ¾’s full with the chocolate mixture before placing them on a small baking dish lined with a clean dish cloth or silicone mat.
• Step 9
  Pour boiling water in the baking dish half way up and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the mixture is still jiggling a bit.
• Step 10
  Remove from the heat and carefully transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat; let it cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge until set, about 4 hours.
• Step 11
  Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with berries.
