Pots de Crème
-
3/4 cup whole milk
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
3 large egg yolks
-
4 1/2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (62% cacao), broken into small pieces
-
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/8 teaspoon red gel food coloring, or as needed
-
1/4 cup cream cheese
Whipped Topping (optional)
-
1/4 cup very cold heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
-
1 tablespoon cream cheese, at room temperature
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
cocoa powder, for dusting
Directions
Whisk together milk, cream, and egg yolks in a saucepan for pots de crème. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula over medium heat, until the mixture is hot and steamy, but has not begun to simmer yet. An instant read thermometer inserted into the mixture should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
Remove from heat, add chocolate, and swirl pan a few times to settle chocolate down. Let sit for 2 minutes. Add salt, vanilla, and red coloring.
After 2 minutes, add cream cheese, and whisk everything until smooth. If cream cheese is not mixing in completely, use a stick blender to mix for a few seconds.
Transfer mixture into serving glasses or jars. Place jars on a tray and tap each one gently a few times to bring any air bubbles to the surface. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until cold and firm, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
For whipped topping, add heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla to a bowl, and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. Add to a piping bag, and pipe (or spoon) over chilled pots de crème. Dust lightly with cocoa powder, and serve.
