These rich, creamy French custards are such a great entertaining dessert. Depending on the kind of vessel you make them in, they can be rustic or elegant, to match the tone of your dinner.
The ingredient list is short and sweet: chocolate, sugar, cream, and egg yolks. (The leftover egg whites will freeze beautifully, and you can always use them to make meringues, an egg white vegetable frittata, or cheese soufflés.) Be sure to use really good quality dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cacao).
