A few months ago, I teamed up with Land o’ Lakes and a group of talented bloggers to create some new and different recipes using LAND O LAKES® Eggs. They asked us to do it again, and I was happy to be a part of it. As you can imagine, I go through a lot of eggs at my house. I buy them almost every time I go to the grocery store, and when I buy LAND O LAKES® Eggs, I know that I am getting the freshest eggs possible. For a recipe like this Milk Chocolate Pots de Creme, having fresh and high-quality eggs is very important because they are the star of the show.

Pots de Creme is the french equivalent of custard. Traditionally, they are served in beautiful little pots, hence the name pots de creme, or pots of cream. The egg yolks make this recipe the richest, creamy, and smooth dessert that I can think of. Almost like a chocolate pudding, but times a thousand. There are a few ways to make this dessert, but I am opting for the stovetop method. You heat cream and milk together with sugar and salt, bring it to a boil, and slowly marry it into whisked egg yolks. You put that mixture on the stove and cook it until it becomes thick and coats the back of a spoon. Pour the custard over the chopped chocolate, let it sit, and then give it a go in the blender to get out any lumps that might form from the cooking process. Chill in the fridge to let the pots de creme set up, and top with some freshly whipped cream, and some milk chocolate curls. Heaven in a cute little pot.
