This dessert worth every effort. My guests always ask if I will serve this.. Ingredients:
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate,chopped - godiva seems the best |
1 1/2 cup heavy cream |
1 1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup sugar |
8 egg yolks |
i've tried to substitute the milk with soy milk and sugar for splenda, just as delish. seems the key is the brand of chocolate. |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Melt chocolate with 1/2 cup of cream in a 2-quart saucepan or in a bowl over simmering water. Remove from heat. Combine remaining 1 cup cream, milk and sugar in a saucepan and warm until sugar dissolves.
2. Whisk yolks in a bowl, then slowly stir in warm cream mixture. Pour
3. resulting custard mixture through a strainer into melted chocolate
4. and stir to combine.
5. Pour mixture into 6 custard cups and place them at least an inch
6. apart in a baking pan. Add enough hot water to pan to reach just
7. under the lip of the cups. Bake until custards are just set at edges,
8. about 45 minutes. They will continue to cook after you remove them
9. from oven, and chocolate will harden as it cools. Take care not to
10. overcook; this custard is best when slightly soft. Best serve warm.
