Chocolate Peanut Butter Pots De Creme
Ingredients
  • 16oz whole milk
  • 7oz sugar
  • 6 oz semi-sweet baking chocolatechopped
  • 1/2cup Ambrosia Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1Tbsp Cacao powder
  • Pinch of Kosher salt
  • 1tsp Durkee® 100% Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 7large egg yolks
  • boiling water as needed
  • powdered sugar as needed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (DO NOT use convection). In a three-quart saucepan over medium heat, slowly warm the milk just to a simmer. Add the sugar and whisk constantly until fully dissolved; do not allow the mixture to boil (lower the temperature if necessary). Once the sugar is incorporated, add the chocolate and peanut butter and continue to whisk until the liquid comes back to a simmer. Ensure the chocolate has fully dissolved, but again, do not allow the mixture to boil. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together, then slowly whisk them into the chocolate mixture. Strain the final mixture through a fine mesh sieve and into a two-quart liquid measuring cup to remove any residual lumps.
  2. Pour the custard into (4) 10-ounce ramekins, 1/4 inch short of the top. Place the ramekins into a deep pan and add enough boiling water to reach 3/4 up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the custards are almost set in the center, about 50 minutes. Remove from water bath and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of peanut butter if desired.
