How’s this for dessert? Petit Pots De Chocolat

By James Russell: How’s this for dessert? Petit Pots De Chocolat

March 20, 2015

Dark, rich, melt in the mouth… Do you know how easy it is to make one of the world’s classics in a commercial microwave oven?

This recipe serves 4, but can easily be increased – just double the recipe and serve in small ‘shot’ glasses.

Here’s what you need to make it:

Ingredients

  • 125g plain chocolate
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 125ml double cream, softly whipped

Cooking Instructions

  1. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a fairly large microwaveable bowl. Melt for 3 – 4 minutes in an 1100 watt oven on MEDIUM power (70% – 735 watts), stirring occasionally, to ensure that the chocolate melts evenly – and doesn’t burn.
  2. When thoroughly melted, remove from the oven, stir well, then stir in the egg yolks.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and dry.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture, followed by the egg whites.
  5. Spoon mixture into 4 small serving dishes. Set in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Serve decorated with small curls of grated chocolate.

1500 watt oven – Melt the chocolate for 3 – 4 minutes on MEDIUM power (70%, 1050 watts), making sure you watch the chocolate as it melts and stir frequently to ensure that it doesn’t burn.

1850 watt oven – Melt the chocolate for 2 – 3 minutes on LOW power (50%, 925 watts), making sure you watch the chocolate as it melts and stir frequently to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
