Ingredients

  •  eggs 
  • tablespoons frangelico dark
  • servings mint leaves for garnish, optional
  •  peanut butter cups 
  • pinch salt 
  • cup bittersweet chocolate 
  • tablespoons sugar 
  • cup whipping cream 
  • 0.7 cup milk whole

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • blender

Directions

  1. Heat milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil.
  2. In blender or food processor combine egg, sugar, a pinch of salt, semisweet chips, and liqueur. Run processor or turn on blender to low setting.
  3. Pour in boiling milk in a slow stream. The hot milk will cook egg and melt chocolate. Process or blend 1 minute, until smooth.
  4. Spoon chocolate into 4 demitasse cups and chill. After dinner, beat cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Add a little sugar and beat to combine. Top the chocolate cups with a dollop of cream and garnish each cup with mint sprigs.
  6. Place cups on saucers and serve with demitasse spoons. If you use teacups, this recipe will yield 2 cups, rather than 4.
