1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups scalded heavy cream (table cream or blend of 3/4 cup half and half and 1/2 cup whipping cream)
2 egg yokes
3 Tablespoons brandy, Cointreau, etc. * optional
Use blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour mixture into ramikins or pot de creme containers. Makes 6.
Cover with saran or foil to prevent skin from forming.
Chill until firm, several hours. Serve.
The heat of the scalded cream “cooks” the egg yolks to prevent bacterial problems.
