2 cups whipping cream
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup sugar
4 beaten egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate curls (optional)
1 In a medium heavy saucepan combine the whipping cream, chocolate and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat about 10 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil or thickens. (If chocolate flecks remain use a rotary beater or wire whisk to beat mixture until blended.)
2 Gradually stir all of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks; stir in vanilla. Divide chocolate mixture evenly into 3-ounce ramekins or espresso cups. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours before serving. If desired, garnish with chocolate curls.
I like to add some fresh raspberries and special small cookies on the side. Happy Heart Day!
