Chocolate Cherry Pots de Creme Recipe

1. 2 cups heavy cream

2. 1 tbsp cocoa powder

3. 4 egg yokes

4. 1/3 cup white sugar

5. 1 tbsp brown sugar

6. 6 oz bittersweet chocolate

7. 1 vanilla bean – split, seeded

8. ½ – ¾ cup Chukar Cherries Jubilee/Sour Cherry Pie Filling/Dried Tart Cherries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Bring cream, vanilla bean, and cocoa powder to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until smooth. Set aside for later.

3. In a large bowl, whisk yolks and sugars together. Gradually add in creamy chocolate mixture to eggs, without cooking them. Strain mixture into a pitcher.

4. Grease 4-6 ramekins and evenly distribute the Cherries Jubilee between them. Then gently pour custard into ramekins.

5. Place ramekins in a water bath and into oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until centers are jiggly, but not runny. Remove from oven and let stand for 2-3 hours before serving. Can be refrigerated ahead of time!
