Milk Chocolate And White Chocolate Pots De Creme

photo credit: Ev Thomas
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.
