Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 0 Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat in the microwave on high for 1–2 minutes until warm but not boiling.
Step 2
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, instant espresso powder, and granulated sugar to the warm liquid. Stir until the chocolate has melted completely, and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks thoroughly. Gradually pour a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, whisking constantly.
Step 4
Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the chocolate mixture, whisking until combined.
Step 5
Microwave the entire mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until thickened slightly. This should take about 2–3 minutes in total. Be cautious not to overheat, as the eggs may scramble.
Step 6
Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 small ramekins or serving glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 8
Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
