Coho Restaurant’s Chocolate Pots de Creme

Chocolate Pot de Creme topped with cream and chocolate shavings

 

This dessert will satisfy any chocolate craving.  It is a cross between crème brulée and chocolate pudding – very rich and decadent to say the least!

5 Tablespoons Sugar
¼ Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream

2.  Transfer to a sauce pan and heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and the temperature reaches 180ºF.

3.  Place chocolate in a medium bowl.  Pour the egg/sugar mixture over the chocolate and let stand for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate.  Whisk until smooth and then add vanilla and espresso.  Pour into nine 4-ounce ramekins or 18 small espresso cups.

4.  Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate over night.

5.  Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving and garnish with chantilly cream.
