Ingredients

--For the Pots de creme--

1 pound Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate

2 cups whole milk

6 egg yolks

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 tablespoon sugar

--Mocha Sauce--

1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso

1/2 cup hot water

2 egg yolks

1/4 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

1/2 pint cream (whipped)

Directions

--For the Pots de creme--

Preheat the oven to 350

Melt chocolate and milk in double boiler.

Beat eggs and sugar until thick.

When chocolate is melted and thickened, pour over beaten yolks, stirring constantly.

Strain through a fine mesh strainer

Pour into individual pots de creme dishes and put in shallow pan of water. (I don't have these dishes so I used 4 ounce ramekins...like for creme brulee)

It took me about an hour and a half for these to set

Cook until custards are firm (The top will poof up like a souffle)

Chill in the refrigerator and serve with mocha sauce.

--For Mocha Sauce--

Dissolve instant espresso in hot water

Beat egg yolks with sugar and salt

Add coffee and cook in double-boiler, stirring constantly until custard is thick

Chill in refrigerator and fold in whipped cream just before serving
