How to Make Chocolate Pots ~ lots of Luscious Variations

Just a quickie! I’ve been making (and selling) chocolate pots for years almost beyond number!

Dark Chocolate Pots 

The chocolate pot will set but is still soft and idea for dipping goodies into such as wafers, biccies, fruit or even fingers.

Chocolate Pot Variations …

~   Vanilla – add a drip or two of vanilla extract or a little vanilla paste together with the eggs.
~   Finely grated orange zest.
~   Finely chopped stem ginger and just a little of the syrup.
~   A little spirit or liqueur – I’m serious when I say “a little”, just a tablespoon because otherwise the finished chocolate pot will be too runny.
~   Add a little chilli syrup, recipe here, or use Lindt’s Excellence Chilli Dark Chocolate.
~   Melt a teaspoonful of coffee granules in with the cream and sugar.
~   Put a little something in the bottom of the dish (salted caramel sauce, raspberries, um … alcohol soaked fruit, etc) before pouring in the chocolate.
~   Add a topping but nothing too sweet or rich as that would be over doing it. Grated chocolate would be good or chopped toasted nuts, for instance.
~   Your go – let me know of any good ideas you have.

Chocolate pots are a lovely Christmas dessert as you can prepare them a day or two in advance and, as I said, it is so easy.
