Pots de Creme

OK, I am not any way able to do French anything, but this is sooo easy, the recipe is from the Pioneer Woman -- she is amazing -- love love her show and blog!

This is NOT pronounced POTs of Cream.  Instead, Po Du, Crehm.  

Say it again, Po Du, Crehm. Good!



Here's what you will need: (today, I only made a 1/2 recipe), but here is the whole recipe for you!

1 bag of chocolate chips ( I used special dark chocolate chips. Use semi sweet or milk chocolate whatever you like)
4 eggs at room temperature (very very very important to have the eggs at room temp)
2 tps. of vanilla, for kid friendly (I used Irish Creme for adult friendly)
1 Cup of very very hot very very strong coffee



Place the chocolate chips in a blender, then add the eggs. Blend and blend--it will be noisy!





Pour in the Irish Creme, or vanilla, or really any flavoring you like that would compliment chocolate!



Now add the hot coffee, blend, blend, blend, you get it!

This wonderful chocolate smoothly goodness is now poured into little vessels of your choice, me and Pioneer Woman like little mason jars.  



Then into the fridge to set up and cool.


After the chocolate mousse is set, remove from the fridge and add some wonderful whipped cream--not cool whip, not some artificial stuff, but the real thing.

The proportions are:  one part whipping cream to one part powdered sugar.  Whip the cream until soft peaks form then add in an equal amount of powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form--mmmm delish!


The final product!  Oh My Goodness!!


After the chocolate mousse is set up in the fridge,
top each with some whipped cream and mmmmmm.
I can't speak right now!
Mine should have set in the fridge longer to "set"; but I ate it anyway.


Enjoy friends!
