Indulge in the rich, velvety decadence of No Bake Chocolate Pots de Crème, a sophisticated dessert that’s irresistibly simple to make. Featuring creamy semi-sweet chocolate, a touch of pure vanilla, and a hint of salt to enhance the flavors, this no-cook recipe uses the heat of simmered heavy cream to create an ultra-smooth, luxurious chocolate custard—all in just 15 minutes of prep and cook time. Perfect for dinner parties or an elegant treat at home, these silky pots de crème are served chilled in individual ramekins and can be garnished with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a refined finishing touch. With no baking required, this effortless yet indulgent dessert is as convenient as it is impressive.
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt into a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 20-30 seconds until the ingredients are combined and the chocolate is broken up slightly.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
While the blender is running on low, carefully pour the hot cream into the chocolate mixture. Blend for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into 4 small serving dishes or ramekins.
Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, if desired.
