Categories     Chocolate

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pistachios
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus a pinch
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup extra-bittersweet chocolate (about 72 percent cocoa), chopped
4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast 5 minutes. Let the pistachios cool, and then transfer to a food processor, with the confectioners' sugar and salt. Process until it has the consistency of damp sand, about 5 minutes. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream and 3/4 cup of the pistachio mixture (reserve the rest for garnish). Simmer 5 minutes; remove from heat, cover and let stand 20 minutes. Return the pot to the heat and return to a simmer. 3. Place the chocolate in a large bowl. Strain the pistachio cream through a fine-mesh sieve over the chocolate; press down on the pistachio solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much flavor as possible. Whisk until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. 4. In a large bowl, whisk together the yolks, granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Whisking constantly, pour in the hot chocolate mixture until combined. Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce ramekins. Transfer ramekins to a baking dish that fits them snugly. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil and prick foil with a fork. Bake until the pots de crème are set but jiggle slightly when nudged, 35 to 45 minutes. 5. Cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm. Serve topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of the reserved pistachios.

I'm vegan, so I used almond milk and vegan chocolate chips. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to pistachios, so I substituted chopped walnuts. It turned out great!

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have the time or patience for this.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pots de creme turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavor was good, but the texture was a little too firm for my liking.

I'm not a big fan of pistachio, but I loved these pots de creme. The chocolate flavor is dominant, and the pistachio just adds a subtle nutty flavor.
