Chocolate Pot, fresh berries and Creme Anglaise pudding

Chocolate Pot Recipe

 

Anything that is made with chocolate catches my attention, this dessert in particular is something special. The rich chocolate, served with classic creme anglaise, and some fresh berries, makes for the perfect end to a great meal

Makes 6

Ingredients

167g Dark chocolate
267g Butter
3.5gYeast
40g Caster sugar
2 Whole eggs
53g Pasteurised egg yolk
33g Strong flour
Zest of 1 orange

Method

Pre-grease and line moulds with silicone paper, line the bases with a disc of soaked chocolate sponge cake.

Melt the chocolate and butter over a water bath and combine well.  DO NOT OVER HEAT.

Dissolve the yeast in a little water and mix it into the melted chocolate with the flour and orange zest. Whisk the whole eggs, yolks and sugar to a sabayon until it has doubled in volume then fold it into the chocolate mix. Fill each mould ¾ of the way full

Bake at 190ºc (full fan) for 9 minutes.

Serve this with some crème anglaise, and if you are a fan of either fresh cherries of seasonal berries, they go so well with this dessert. The mix of warm custard, rich chocolate and fresh berries makes for a balanced and super delicious dessert.
