White Chocolate Pots De Creme Recipes

EASY WHITE CHOCOLATE POTS DE CRèME

Steps:

• Add the white chocolate to a large heat-proof bowl, and set aside.
• Add the cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla to a microwave-safe bowl or jug, and heat on high for 30 seconds (800W). Stir to combine the sugar into the cream, then heat for a further 30 seconds.
• Pour the cream over the chocolate, and leave to stand for 1 minute. Whisk together until melted and smooth. If there are still some chocolate lumps left, heat for 30 seconds, then whisk again. The mixture should be slightly thick and silky smooth.
• Evenly divide the pudding between three 4-oz ramekins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set.
• Garnish with whipped cream and/or chocolate shavings before serving.

LEMON AND WHITE CHOCOLATE POTS DE CREME

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the white chocolate in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a small saucepan, over low heat, add the cream and milk and heat until hot but not boiling. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until smooth. In another medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, and salt together until smooth. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the egg mixture until smooth. Ladle the custard into 4 (4-ounce) ramekins or custard cups. Arrange the ramekins in an 8 by 8-inch square baking dish. Pour enough hot water in the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes until the custard is almost set and still slightly soft in the center (custard will set as it cools). Let the ramekins cool for 30 minutes in the baking dish. Remove the ramekins from the water and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to 1 day.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.

CHOCOLATE POTS DE CRèME WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Arrange six 3/4-cup custard cups or souffle dishes in roasting pan. Combine whipping cream, chopped semisweet chocolate and instant espresso powder in heavy medium saucepan. Bring almost to simmer over medium heat, whisking until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture.
• Divide custard equally among cups. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Bake custards until just set around edges but still soft in center, about 25 minutes. Remove cups from water. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Spoon White Chocolate Whipped Cream atop custards and serve.
