Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1½ cups whipping cream (heavy cream and double cream are also good options.)
  • 12 ounces bittersweet/dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tbs sugar

Instruction

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl with the coffee, salt, and vanilla and set aside
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until a few bubble forms around the edge.
  • Pour the hot cream over the bowl with the chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate, then whisk until combined.
  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar thoroughly and combine with the chocolate and cream.
  • Add the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 4 minutes.
  • Divide among ramekins or dessert dishes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cool and slightly firm (anywhere from 1 to 3 hours (different chocolates take different times to set back up after melting).
