S T R U C T I O N S
1. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Heat chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in
double boiler or a bowl set over a pan of hot water. Stir until chocolate melts and
mixture is blended.
2. Stir in liqueur, adjusting to taste, and let mixture cool to lukewarm. Stir about a
fourth of whipped cream into chocolate to lighten mixture. Then fold in all but one large
spoonful of remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate remaining cream to decorate tops.
3. Spoon mixture into pots-de-creme pots, individual souffle cups, or small dessert
dishes. Chill in freezer about 30 minutes, or in refrigerator if serving time is more than
30 minutes away. Decorate each dessert with a dollop of reserved whipped cream.
Microwave Version
Chocolate may be melted in the microwave oven. Place chocolate in a small glass bowl.
Microwave on 50% power until softened (2 to 2-1/2 minutes). Stir until smooth. Do not
overheat or chocolate will scorch around edges and won't blend smoothly. Add sweetened
condensed milk, stir to blend, and continue with step 2. Preparation time and timesaver
tip same as above.
