Chocolate Pots

Those of you with a sweet tooth will love these, those without, steer well clear. Packed with chocolate and sugar, they make a really rich and indulgent pud, which probably shouldn’t become an everyday fixture, but is nice as a treat every now and again (Valentines day being the perfect opportunity). You will, I’m afraid, need a food processor to make them though.

From Leon: Naturally Fast Food

Makes 4 to 6 pots (mixture filled four old GU ramekins)

240ml double cream

70g caster sugar

200g chocolate

1 tsp vanilla essence

2 egg yolks

1. Heat the cream and sugar in a pan and bring to the boil. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved.
2. Chop the chocolate into small chunks and put into a food processor with the vanilla essence and egg yolks.
3. When the cream is simmering, start the processor and pour it in (do this VERY carefully, and on a low speed, or you will end up with a chocolate explosion like I did). When smooth, pour the mixture into ramekins and refrigerate for over 2 hours.
