Irish Cream Chocolate Pots De Crème

By: Kita · Published Feb 23, 2012 · Updated: Mar 5, 2013 · This post may contain affiliate links

We really have to eat more salads

Why does every hairdresser tell you something different? It really kind of ticks me off. I get a different story about whats good or bad for my head from everyone of them. Don't they know I am convinced I am going to fry my hair off one of these days and have to rock a shaved head? Hellooo.

I could totally not rock 'shaved head' by the way.

The never ending cycle of motivational pins next to cupcakes loaded with frosting and dripping with glaze cracks me up. You are not getting skinny by pinning. You are only getting carpal tunnel.

But, I now rely on pinterest to pick out my outfits in the morning. You people that pin clothes rock my world.

To top it off, I'm a snobby pinner. I only want to pin the prettiest of pictures no matter how good the food sounds. I need to get over that.

Seriously, that's all I've got for ya today. But hey, chocolate and liquor... and whipped cream.

 

Irish Cream Chocolate Pots De Crème

from Food Network Magazine Aug/Sep 2009

Ingredients:

  • 9 ounces high-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1  cups whole milk
  • ½ cup Irish cream
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • ½ teas espresso powder
  • 5 tbs granulated sugar
  • ¼ teas salt
  • 1 tbs confectioners' sugar

Preparation:

Place the chocolate in a blender. Whisk the milk, Irish cream, 1 cup heavy cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture ure is thick enough to coat the spatula and the mixture is almost boiling, 5 to 6 minutes.

Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate in the blender. Cover and hold the lid with a thick kitchen towel; blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. Pour the chocolate mixture among 6 ramekins evenly. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

Whip the remaining ½ cup cream and the confectioners' sugar with a mixer or in the blender until soft peeks form. Top the chilled pots de crème with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

    I tried to be practical about my pin but it looks like I'm too one of the "pin snobs"!!!
    Now this cup of chocolate is what I should be pinning in my kitchen.

    Nailed it. 🙂

    And I have officially unfollowed all fashion boards. My self esteem can't handle it. Not until I can get dressed in the morning and still make it to lunchtime without somebody spilling something or wiping something on me.

    You have two choices. 1- Be my roommate. 2- Marry me. I will never be skinny if I keep eating like this and I want these in my face asap.

    BTW if you ever end up with a bald head, I'll shave my head with you and believe me you do NOT want to see that.

    I'm scared of pinning. And sub-par photography.

    No chance of seeing that here! BAM! These pics are hot.

    Kita, I love these pots de creme - I've seen them crop up on a number of blogs, but they've never looked quite this decadent or delicious =) I have featured this post in today's Friday Food Fetish roundup. Let me know if you have any objections and thanks as ever for the inspiration...

    I need to pin more clothes - I like the idea of picking out outfits from Pinterest. That would make getting ready in the morning so much easier and I'm sure I'd end up looking better.

    Also, these pots de creme look divine!

    Amen sister! Loving the Pinterest, and it is probably contributing to my carpal tunnel. It certainly doesn't help my recovering sprained finger. Can't say I'm a super snobby pinner, but I do like the nice pics. And I agree about the hair. Every stylist seems to have a different opinion, and everybody wants to sell you a new product that is "the ultimate." But it's never the ultimate, is it? I think your pots de creme are the solution to all of our problems. So, thanks. 😉

    I like anything 'Irish'.
    When we run out of milk we have irish coffees. Maybe on work days... maybe not...

    Seriously? I had no plans to make desert tonight, but now I must!
    I am also clear that I can not pull off the Sinead look, which is why I stick with one stylist who I know won't fry or shear my baby fine hair.
