If you’re on any kind of diet - look away and slowly navigate to another recipe her on Gastronaut Adventures. This is not for you!

For the rest of us - these cups of chocolate creme are magic! I think they’re originally from Jamie Oliver’s first season of The Naked Chef.
They’re easy to make and you’ll get a fantastic result! If you have a chocolate loving woman (Could someone please explain the thing with women and chocolate to me?) - I have two (my wife and my daughter of almost 5 y o) - they’ll adore you for making these.

Enough with the sweet talk - let’s get on with it!

1. Smash or chop the chocolate into tiny pieces.
2. Pour the cream into a pan and heat it up. Don’t let it boil! Let it simmer and reduce for 2-3 minutes.
3. Put the chocolate into the cream and stir until the chocolate has melted. Let it simmer for another minute.
4. Take the chocolate mixture of the heat and let it cool a little. Then add the yolks while you stir. That way you won’t end up with a coagulated egg yolk in your chocolate. You certainly don’t want that!
5. Let the mixture cool a little more and then whisk in a knob (approx 25 g) of butter to make it nice and shiny.
6. Pour into small espresso cups and put in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Once the creme has firmed up in the fridge you almost ready to serve them. But just almost…

Topping
You could serve these with almost any kind of sweet garnish. I usually use fresh raspberries or make candied orange peels like this:

1. Pour the water and the sugar into a small pan and bring it to a boil.
2. Take the zest (long strips) from the oranges and add into the boiling sugar.
3. Let them boil there for a minute or two until they turn almost translucent.
4. Pick them up and put them on a paper towel to dry.
5. When they’re dry and crispy they’re ready to serve. Just put them on top of the chocolate and dig in!
