This dessert is simply decadent. Seriously rich, thick, creamy, and so delicious. And it’s so simple, anyone can make it, regardless of your culinary skill. You can whip these up in about 10 minutes, stick in the fridge for a couple of hours and it’s done. Easy enough for a weekday treat, fancy enough for a special occasion.

CHOCOLATE POTS de Creme with Irish Cream
Prep: 10 minutes Chill: 2 hours Serves: 6
Ingredients:
10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons Irish cream
1 large egg
pinch Kosher or sea salt
1 cup heavy cream or half & half
Optional garnish – whip cream, mint leaves, Irish cream syrup
Directions:
Put whatever dishes you’re using on a baking sheet. (Small ramekins, bowls, glass dishes.) This dessert is so rich, you want to use a small serving dish.
Put chips, sugar, Irish cream, egg, and salt in blender. Pulse several times to mix.
Take out center cap from blender lid and place a funnel directly into opening.
Pour heavy cream or half & half in large microwave-safe bowl. Use a large bowl because the cream will rise. Heat cream on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until cream is REALLY bubbling.
Turn blender on low and blend ingredients 15 seconds. SLOWLY pour hot whipping cream through funnel into the chocolate mix while blending on LOW. Once all the cream is in, put hand over the top of funnel to cover and turn speed up to high. Let mix blend on high for about 1 minute. When done, carefully pour chocolate into serving bowls.
Fridge at least 2 hours before serving.
Garnish with whip cream, fresh mint, and drizzled Irish cream syrup
Irish Cream Syrup –
Add about 6 tablespoons Irish cream to a small saucepan. Boil on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until reduced and syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.
