Pot au chocolate with cinnamon whipped cream

Pot au Chocolate with Cinnamon Whipped Cream is a decadent and rich dessert that combines the deep flavors of dark chocolate with the warm spice of cinnamon. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself and your loved ones to a luxurious and comforting experience.

Ingredients:

2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
1/3 cup dark chocolate
72g
6 yolks
100g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Pot au Chocolate:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil.
3. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and add them to the hot milk. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
5. Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the yolks do not cook.
6. Once fully combined, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
2. Baking the Pot au Chocolate:
1. Divide the mixture evenly into 4-6 ovenproof ramekins.
2. Place the ramekins in a baking dish, and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This creates a water bath to ensure even cooking.
3. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
4. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
3. Making the Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
1. In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and add the cinnamon.
2. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
4. Serving:
1. Take the chilled Pot au Chocolate ramekins out of the refrigerator.
2. Top each ramekin with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.
3. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkling of cinnamon or a small piece of dark chocolate.
5. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy chocolate dessert with the delightful cinnamon-spiced whipped cream.

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a better flavor and smoother texture.

- Make sure to temper the egg yolks by slowly adding the hot milk mixture to avoid scrambling them.

- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for better volume and texture.

- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon in the whipped cream to suit your taste.

- Serve the Pot au Chocolate chilled for the best texture and flavor.

This Pot au Chocolate with Cinnamon Whipped Cream is sure to impress and delight. The deep, rich chocolate melds beautifully with the delicate and spiced whipped cream, creating a dessert that is both sumptuous and satisfying. Enjoy this indulgent treat with family and friends!
