TWD - Chocolate Creme Caramel


For Tuesday with Dorie this week, our recipe is a twist on a classic - Chocolate Crème Caramel.

This dessert was surprising in a number of ways.  First, I assumed it contained cream, which it doesn't.  I was also surprised at how little sugar or chocolate was in it - in fact, for a dessert, it is almost healthy.  Another surprise was how easy it was to make - I had the idea that making crème caramel would be difficult, but this was not the case at all.

 I would have liked to have used smaller ramekins for taller puddings, but otherwise, I really enjoyed this crème caramel.  Definitely a recipe to bear in mind to impress dinner party guests.

Mine turned out like yours. I agree a smaller container for a taller dessert. Glad you enjoyed them.

I looked at this recipe and decided it might not be easy enough for me to want to tackle as it is chocolate, etc. but now I'm reading how everyone says it is easy and I am thinking that maybe I could make this for Mark after all just for a new experience...or maybe I should just stick to the cookies, I'm torn. Might need to check into that. Yours looks lovely sitting there all ready to be admired and eaten!
