Ingredients
- For the Pot de Crème
- ¾ cup egg yolks (about 9 eggs)
- 1 quart heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds removed and reserved
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (65 percent and up), chopped
- For the Ganache
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup heavy cream, warmed
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or amaro
- For Serving
- 1 tablespoon cacao nibs
Directions
- Make the pot de crème: Crack the egg yolks into a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a small quart saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, sugar and vanilla seeds, and bring to a simmer. Ladle some of the hot cream into the bowl with the egg yolks and whisk constantly to prevent curdling. Return the egg and cream mixture to the saucepan over medium-high heat and continue to whisk until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, still stirring, and add the chocolate all at once. Keep stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Divide the chocolate mixture among four 8-ounce ramekins. Chill the pots de crème in the refrigerator until set, 2 to 3 hours.
- While the pots de crème are chilling, make the ganache: In a small bowl, combine the chocolate and warm heavy cream, and let sit, undisturbed, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir in the Grand Marnier or amaro, and set aside.
- Remove the pots de crème from the fridge and top each ramekin with the ganache and a sprinkle of cacao nibs before serving.
