Milk
Chocolate And White Chocolate Pots De Creme
This version of pots de creme has
two layers, one of white chocolate and one of milk chocolate. The cooking is all
done "stovetop" so no baking in a water bath. The recipe takes a bit more time
to prepare than many of the others so keep it for a special occasion.Serves 8
I N G R E D I E N T S
2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
8 ounces good-quality* white chocolate chopped
12 large egg yolks
8 ounces good-quality* milk chocolate chopped

Combine 1 cup cream and 3/4 cup milk in heavy
medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate; whisk until melted
and smooth. Whisk 6 yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in warm white
chocolate mixture. Return mixture to same pan. Stir over medium heat until mixture
thickens and registers 180 degrees F on thermometer, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Strain
into clean medium bowl. Place bowl in larger bowl of ice and water. Cool mixture
completely, whisking often. Divide among eight 3/4-cup custard cups. Place in freezer
while making milk chocolate custard.
Combine remaining 1 cup cream and 3/4 cup milk in another heavy medium saucepan. Bring to
boil. Remove from heat. Add milk chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk
remaining 6 yolks in another medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in warm milk chocolate
mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and
registers 180 degrees F on thermometer, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Strain mixture into
clean medium bowl. Place bowl in larger bowl of ice and water. Cool completely, whisking
often. Spoon mixture over white chocolate in cups, dividing equally. Cover and refrigerate
until well chilled, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep
refrigerated.)
We recommend Scharffen Berger chocolate.
