Chocolate Cream Cups
This quick and simple recipe creates a rich dessert similar to pots de creme.
2 cups eggnog
1 6-oz package semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup whipping cream
Combine eggnog and chocolate pieces in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over top and let stand several minutes for gelatin to soften. Heat very slowly, stirring constantly, until gelatin dissolves and chocolate melts completely. Remove from heat and chill one hour, or until mixture mounds lightly on a spoon.
Beat cream until stiff in a medium-size bowl. Fold in chocolate mixture and spoon into demitasse or custard cups. Chill at least two hours or until firm. For an elegant touch, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Serves eight.
