Depending on the chocolate you used, and how long you allowed the chocolate to sit in the hot milk/cream, it might not have melted completely. If you look carefully at this mixture, you might see some flecks of chocolate if this is the case. I noticed in a Maida Heatter recipe that she melts her chocolate before she adds it to the hot liquid--this would insure there were not tiny chocolate chips in the final custard. You might try this, or just let the chocolate sit in the hot liquid longer before beginning to whisk.<br /><br />If you whisked the eggs up to smooth them out and added the choc/cream mixture in a thin stream while whisking the yolks, I don't think the eggs would have scrambled.<br /><br />But you're right, even if not perfectly smooth, it is a spectacular treat!

I had made these earlier this evening, and I was puzzled by something that happened, and then when I opened your blog, there was a post about pot de creme. What perfect timing! My pot de cremes (pots de creme? What's the plural for these?) tasted divine. Rich and intensely wonderful...but they were not as smooth as I remember yours from a class I took last year. They were a tiny bit grainy is the best way to describe them, although the grains were soft. I assume I did something wrong with the eggs, but I don't know what. Can you make a long-distance diagnosis? I want to try again, but I'm not sure what to do to get a smoother texture. While I wait for your answer, I'll be eating my mistake. Even grainier than it should be, this is one spectacular treat.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323554744635599143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086745178674356329.post-9953842794615644612010-09-27T23:23:30.930-05:002010-09-27T23:23:30.930-05:00Wow.

I don't know how shallow yours are, but as long as you bake them in a water bath you should be fine. I might check them at 20 minutes, but other than that, everything should be the same.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070020708376987222noreply@blogger.com
