Ingredients

6 servings

6 oz bittersweet chocolate (60–70% cacao), finely chopped
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
3 tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp fine salt
6 large egg yolks
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For serving

lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving (optional)
flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place six 4-oz ramekins or pot de crème cups in a deep roasting pan or baking dish and set aside.
2
Place the finely chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges — do not let it boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute, then whisk gently from the center outward until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
