Ingredients
100g Asda Organic Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
1 vanilla pod
100ml whole milk
300ml single cream
2 level tbsp caster sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 large egg
Method
1Pre-heat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.
2Break the chocolate into a heatproof measuring jug. Make a slit in the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Put the pod and seeds in a pan with the milk, cream and sugar. Heat until just below simmering point. Pour the hot cream on to the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes, then remove the vanilla pod.
3Lightly beat the egg yolks and whole egg in a bowl with a balloon whisk until just blended. Pour into the chocolate cream in a thin stream, gently whisking all the time.
4Strain through a sieve back into the jug. Pour into four heatproof pots and put them in a roasting tin. Boil a kettle of water and pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the pots. Cover with foil and cook for 45 minutes.
5Remove the foil and lift out the pots. Serve chilled.
