How to Make Pots De Creme

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale and thick.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until fully incorporated.
  4. Add 6 ounces of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate (finely chopped) and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among 5 (4-ounce) ramekins or demitasse cups.
  6. Place the ramekins in a baking dish. Pour enough boiling water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the custards are just set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely at room temperature.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custards to set completely.
