Steps:
- Place the chocolate in a blender. Whisk the milk, 1 cup cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the spatula and almost boiling, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate in the blender. Cover and hold the lid with a thick kitchen towel; blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Divide the chocolate mixture among ramekins or small cups and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the confectioners' sugar with a mixer or in the blender until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pots de creme with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Add chopped chocolate to a large bowl. Heat cream and a pinch of salt in a small pot until it just comes to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, then stir in the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Slowly drizzle the warm chocolate into the egg mixture while stirring. Strain the mixture through a sieve into another container and let cool completely (15 - 20 minutes).
- Pour the custard mixture evenly into custard pots, baking dishes, or ramekins. Place the dishes into a deep pan and fill pan with hot water until half way up the sides of the ramekins. Tightly cover with pots de creme lids or aluminum foil poked with a few holes.
- Bake until custard is set around edges but still slightly liquid in center (about 35 - 45 minutes). Custard will become firmer as it cools.
- Remove pots de creme from water bath, remove lids or foil, and let cool at room temperature for about an hour. Transfer to refrigerator and cool completely (at least 3 hours). You can make these up to two days ahead of time.
- Serve cold with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before adding it to the hot cream. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
- Do not overcook the custard. It should be thick and creamy, but not curdled.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the pots de creme dishes. This will remove any lumps.
- Chill the pots de creme for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow them to set properly.
- Serve the pots de creme with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Conclusion:
Baileys Chocolate Pots de Creme is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of chocolate and Baileys Irish Cream is sure to please everyone, and the pots de creme can be garnished with a variety of toppings to create a personalized presentation.
