Ingredients
- 5 Egg yolks, Slightly beaten
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 10 oz Milk Chocolate, (I used Guittard Chips)
- 4 oz Bittersweet Chocolate, (I used Baker's)
Instructions
- Place the chocolates in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Mix together egg yolks, cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Place in a double boiler and heat to 175F while stirring rapidly with a spatula. If you do not have a thermometer, heat until very hot but do not let the mixture boil, and watch for coagulating of the eggs. This is undesirable.
- Pour the hot custard over the chocolate in the food processor. Let the mixture melt for 30 seconds, then puree until smooth.
- Pour into ramekins or tea cups and let cool at room temperature for one hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Top as desired.
