Cooking.com Tip: Pots de Creme are so indulgently delicious, that little porcelain pots were invented just for them. These dainty pots include a handle for easy manuevering, and a lid to prevent a skin from forming atop the custard. Although these little dishes make an impressive presentation, individual souffle dishes, ramekins or custard cups may also be used.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2 cups half and half
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 large egg yolks
1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)
chocolate curls (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Arrange six

Strain custard into 4-cup glass measure. Pour custard into ramekins (about 1/2 cup each). Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Place pan in oven; lay sheet of foil loosely over top of dishes.

Bake puddings until center is softly set, about 38 minutes. Remove pan from oven; cool puddings in water bath 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. Then cover and keep refrigerated. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Top puddings with whipped cream and chocolate curls, if desired, and serve.

NOTE: If using the pots de creme pots, divide the custard among 12 pots and reduce the cooking time.
