Chocolate Pots de Crème for Two

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (2 oz)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired
Chocolate curls, if desired

DIRECTIONS:

1 Place chocolate chips, sugar, salt and vanilla in a blender.

2 In a small microwavable bowl, microwave whipping cream uncovered on High, in 20-second increments, 1 to 2 minutes or until cream begins to boil. Pour hot cream into the blender; cover and blend until smooth.

3 Pour chocolate mixture into 2 small dessert bowls. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours until set and cold. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate curls.

TIPS:

To make chocolate curls, let the bittersweet chocolate bar stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Pull vegetable peeler across the edge of the bar using long strokes. Semisweet chocolate chips can be substituted for bittersweet chocolate in this recipe.
