Ingredients

3/4 pound semi-sweet chocolate cut into 1/2" pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/16 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cream
6 egg yolks

Instructions

Place chocolate, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Bring cream to a boil and pour over chocolate. Cover blender and whir until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add egg yolks. Blend again until smooth, about 5 seconds.

Pour into six pot de creme pots (any set which can be used in the oven and freezer) cover with lid. Place in freezer until the dessert is frozen.

**Note: If you are going to freeze the dessert then use this recipe with cups you are certain are oven to tableware.

To Serve
This dessert can also be served after it is chilled at least 4 hours or overnight. If you are not using oven to tableware then allow the dessert to cool on the counter before you place the cups in the refrigerator.

Regarding Uncooked Egg Yolks
There is always some risk involved with recipes that use uncooked eggs. In this recipe the yolks are heated by the scalded milk. You should however exercise caution if you are serving small children, elderly persons, pregnant women, or anyone with a compromised immune system.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
