Layered Chocolate Pots
Easy to make, but oh so impressive layered chocolate pots made with several types of chocolate.
Servings: 4 90cl Verrines
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time10 minutes mins
Chilling time1 hour hr
Total Time20 minutes mins
- 200 ml double cream
- 80 g of each of two types of chocolate - I used milk and plain
Simply finely chop each type of chocolate and place in separate bowls.
Heat 100ml of the cream to just below simmering, remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate. Stir well until the chocolate has melted into the cream you might need to either heat it very gently or add a little milk to thin it.
Divide the chocolate cream mix between the verrine glasses trying not to pour it down the side of the glass; I use either a jam funnel or pour the chocolate mixture from a warmed jug, wipe any splodges from the inside of the glass place in the fridge to set, before adding the next layer.
Served chilled with a little extra cream.
Variations
All sorts of types of chocolate will work well here – bars, flavoured, creme centres, toffees – as long as it will melt smoothly you can use it.
Try adding orange zest, or use a little less cream and add a little brandy, whiskey or liqueur of your choice.
