CHOCOLATE POTS DE CREME - DARK AND DELICIOUS

I am a complete push over when it comes to bittersweet, dark, creamy chocolate treats. Add a splash of booze and well, forget it, I’m sold! Yet that said I am a chocolate snob – or most discerning with my indulgences. (That’s how I like to describe my very distinct preferences for quality foods including chocolate. After all we each have our own unique taste-buds right?)

So back to this treat… it’s dark and delicious and I created it in minutes when a chocolate craving hit one eve. I’m quite certain you’ll love it and you too can appease your own palate and choose your chocolate proof (the % of cacao) and sweetness level. I went extra dark – 93% yet did add a splash of cassis. YUM!

  • Sweets, Snack cravings, Chocolate fixes!
  • Prep time: 8 minutes or less
  • Low Allergen – Vegan, Gluten/corn/nut/dairy-free
  • Yield  2 – 3 servings
 
INGREDIENTS:
 70 grams high quality dark vegan chocolate – minimum 70%, finely chopped
1/3-1/2 cup Belsoy non-dairy crème or canned coconut milk
Tiny pinch sea salt, if desired
1 oz liqueur or brandy if desired, your choice
GARNISH – raw cacao nibs or chocolate curls or both
 
 DIRECTIONS
  1. Heat the Belsoy or crème in a small pot over medium low heat until hot.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate, sea salt and liqueur if using.
  3. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted. Add a splash more warm Belsoy if desired, cool slightly and divide between small glass serving dishes.
  4. Garnish as desired and then relish in the yum factor. 
 
TERI’ TIPS:
  • Double the recipe if needed or desired. This will keep a few days in the refrigerator if you forget it’s there or have amazing discipline.
  • Find Belsoy in grocery stores both in the refrigerator section as well as with other boxed non-dairy milk  It's one of the products from Maison Orphee

PS - please note, there was a typo in the liquid amount previously, it is now corrected.  So sorry.
