Lazy Hostess | Chocolate Pot de Crème
It’s a rainy Friday afternoon in New York so we thought that a little treat would sweeten your mood. The Fat Radish, a favorite restaurant in New York, has shared their recipe for Chocolate Pot de Crème with the Lazy Hostess, who loves this easy-to-make yet decadent dessert.
Since these will be made in advance, all you need to do for your last course is to put them on a pretty plate and add a small spoon. We like to garnish our pots before serving with a piece of candied ginger. And, if you choose to bake your pot de crème desserts in mason jars (shown in the photo) make sure to take off the lids before popping them into the oven. Once they are cooled, the lids can go back on for a cool presentation or to seal them for future use.

INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tbsp Grand Marnier
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp grated orange zest
4 oz chocolate, chopped

RECIPE NOTES
Combine milk, whipping cream, Grand Marnier, vanilla, and orange zest in a saucepan, bring to a lazy boil. Turn down the heat and melt in chocolate, stirring frequently, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale. Gently whisk into chocolate. Strain the mixture and divide into ramekins. Place ramekins in a roasting pan with about 1/2” water. Bake for 40 minutes at 350, cool until set.
