Ingredients

  • large egg yolk 
  • tablespoons espresso powder instant
  • cups milk 
  • 0.5 ounce bittersweet chocolate chopped fine
  • 0.5 cup sugar 
  • teaspoon vanilla 
  • large eggs whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • pot
  • sieve
  • ramekin
  • baking pan
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. In a small skillet cook 1/4 cup of the sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, until it is melted and a golden caramel, add carefully 1/4 cup water (pour it into the side of the skillet), and simmer the mixture, stirring, until the caramel is dissolved.
  2. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chocolate, stirring until it is melted. In a bowl whisk the yolks and the whole egg with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and add the chocolate mixture, whisking.
  3. Whisk in the milk, scalded, in a stream, the espresso powder, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Strain the custard through a fine sieve into another bowl, skim the froth, and divide the custard among six 2/3-cup pot de crème pots or ramekins.
  4. Put the pots in a baking pan, add enough hot water to the pan to reach one third up the sides of the pots, and cover the pots with their lids or cover the pan tightly with foil.
  5. Bake the custards in the middle of a preheated 300°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are just set, let them cool completely, uncovered, and chill them, covered, for 3 hours, or until they are cold. The custards may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  6. Garnish each custard with a rosette of whipped cream and a chocolate coffee bean.
