Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Step 2
In a heavy saucepan, heat the milk to simmering and stir in cocoa, chocolate and½ of the sugar. Simmer, stirring, until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, egg white and remaining sugar. Pour milk mixture in a thin stream into the egg mixture; stir to combine. Pour into 12 small (2-by-2-inch) ramekins and place in a hot-water bath. Cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil or a baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is thickened but not too firm; it will thicken some as it cools. Cool slightly before serving (or chill completely in the refrigerator, about 2 hours).

One has to wonder about a recipe that lists 3 egg yolks plus 1 egg white. Isn't that 2 egg yolks and 1 egg? In any case this was very rich and delicious. I referred to Melissa Clark's Extra-Bittersweet Chocolate Pots de Crème recipe for some details and served with slightly whipped crème fraîche.
