Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat in the microwave on high for 1–2 minutes until warm but not boiling.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, instant espresso powder, and granulated sugar to the warm liquid. Stir until the chocolate has melted completely, and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks thoroughly. Gradually pour a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, whisking constantly.
Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the chocolate mixture, whisking until combined.
Microwave the entire mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until thickened slightly. This should take about 2–3 minutes in total. Be cautious not to overheat, as the eggs may scramble.
Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 small ramekins or serving glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
