CHOCOLATE POT DE CREME

When i was searching for chocolate recipes i found nigella lowson's recipe of chocolate pots.I just gave a try but madesome changes .This is one dessert that one should have it right away .it doesn't tastes good when cold.The chocolate mixture inside the ramken is very gooey and the top layer more like a cake.So i'm worried wheather the my eggs will cook or not..so ,i added heavy cream and one egg white instead of adding 3 full egg or 6 yolks...The whipped cream just melts in the hot pot.So better add the dollop of cream before serving.I made those leaves with the left over cooked chocolate.......give a try and let me know.

1 teaspoon allpurpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 jumbo egg white or 2 small size egg whites

1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate(i used ghirardeli 60% cocoa)
1/4 stick butter

2 ramkens or any oven proof cups

baking tray

2 cups water

In a microwave safe bowl take the chopped chocolate and butter .Melt them for a minute.

Remove it from microwave and stir till all the chocolate is completely melted.

Let it cool .In a wide mouthed bowl whisk together heavy cream, egg white,sugar,flour.

Wisk it till all the ingredients r well blended.

now check for the chocolate mixture.Add the choclate when it is at room temparature.

whisk till all the chocolate is incorporated with cream mixture.

boil the water for about 2 minutes or till warm and pour it in a baking pan or cake tin.

Put this into a preheated oven at 350 d F and bake for for 15 min at 350.

this is how they look after baking.take them right away from the pan so that they don't over cook...In case if over cooked u don't get that gooey mixture inside.it just stays thick or nore like a half cooked cake.

serve with with a dollop of whipped cream,shaved chocolate or my chocolate leaves.
