Cooking Lesson #747: Raspberry-Chocolate Pots

…from the Perspectives’ Kitchen

How you doin’? If you’re a chocoholic here’s a treat to keep your craving at bay. Deep, dark, chocolate infused with liqueur and whipped into a mousse that is at once lush and decadent and unbelievably light. And it is ready to serve in about 2-1/2 hours!
 
Chocolate Pots are one of life’s sublime delights and though you may choose not to share it—it is the perfect dessert for celebrating the people you love because it looks just as fancy and splendid as it tastes—but  it’s very easy to make.
 
We serve ours with a little pile of raspberries on the top. They provide a fresh sweet-tart note to complement all that dreamy creaminess and they look so pretty on top of the chocolate.
 
Prep time:  10 minutes
Cook time:  10 minutes
Chill time:  2+ hours
Yield:  4 servings
 
Ingredients 
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (I prefer Guittard chocolate)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur
3/4 cup nonfat milk
1 pint fresh raspberries
 
Directions

1. In the work bowl of a food processor combine the chocolate, egg, sugar and Chambord. Pulse a few times to mix.
2. Heat the milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. When little bubbles form around the edge of the pot, remove it from the heat.
3. While the food processor is running, carefully pour the hot milk over the other ingredients and blend for 1 minute, until chocolate is melted, and little bubbles are present near the surface.
4. Divide the mixture among four 1/2-cup ramekins.
5. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, until set, before serving.
6. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.

ChefSecret:  This simple chocolate pot can be made with boysenberries, strawberries or even pitted cherries.

Quip of the Day:  All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
