1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/16 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cream
6
egg yolksI N S T R U C T I O N S
Place chocolate, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Bring cream to a

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.
