Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
5 large egg yolks

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pots de creme turned out grainy. They were still edible, but they weren't as smooth and creamy as I was hoping for.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were a lot of steps and it took me a long time to make. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth all the effort.
