What IS Pot De Crème?

All of you chocolate lovers, stop where you are. You MUST try out this dessert! It’s all about how you make it! Pot de crème is a custard similar to pudding. The biggest difference between the two is that you stir pudding instead of letting it set. Pudding also uses a thickening agent and this can mask the flavor a little bit. With pot de crème, you use egg yolks to help it set to the perfect consistency. It’s so elegant and classy and your guests will love the presentation! Because pot de crème doesn’t use any starch in it, then the flavor of the chocolate is BIG. I mean, we are talking that you taste the chocolate more than the sweet, and it is GOOD. Pot de crème is the ultimate chocolate dessert and has been a classic French favorite since the 17th century! It is elegant and classy and tastes divine. It’s everything that you could ask for in a chocolate dessert!

Simple Ingredients to Make Pot De Crème

There are only six ingredients that you need to make this mouthwatering dessert. This ingredients list is so short and straightforward. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Chocolate: Use high quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate Whipping Cream: This will give it that creamy texture that you often see in custard. Whole Milk: I use whole milk because it is just the right consistency. You don’t want your milk too thin. Egg Yolks: When you are baking, it’s best to mix in your eggs when they are at room temperature. Sugar: This will sweeten up the chocolate flavor a bit. Vanilla: The vanilla will enhance all of the other sweet ingredients.

How to Make Pot De Crème

This is the dessert you want to choose when you want to make something simple and impress your guests. It’s delicious and packed with a chocolate flavor that anyone can appreciate.

The texture is grainy: If your texture is turning out grainy then it could be becuase it was served too cold. Make sure to take your dessert out at least 20-30 minutes before you plan on serving it so that the texture turns out nice ans smooth. How do I know when they are done? Since different ovens cook differently, it’s important that you watch while they cook very carefully. If you overcook the pot de creme then the texture will turn out grainy. Open the oven when you think that they are done and give the pan a jiggle. The middle should jiggle along with the pan but the outside edges should be set. Can I store leftovers? Yes! Cover these up and these will last in your fridge for 4-5 days.
