Renny's Recipes French Edition!

     Since Lindsey and Austin have been in France and Switzerland for almost 2 weeks now, they have been having a ton of fabulous food experiences!   Here is a slide show of some of the photos they have sent:

Here is another shot of this delicacy from Switzerland.
     I may not be in France, but I got to get in on the French food fun yesterday because my son needed some Pots de Creme for his AP French class party.  What a simple yet extremely delicious recipe.  I found the recipe on Food Network and tweaked it a little for my needs.  
Picture
      Pots de Creme are a very chocolaty custard pudding that are traditionally served in little pots.  Thus, the word "Pots".  Since my little pots needed to be disposable, I went to the Dollar Tree to see what I could find.  I found these great little 4 oz. bowls that are actually the perfect size.  They come 12 in a pack, which was precisely the amount I needed! So, $1.00 for all 12! You can order them online just 4 units of 12 at a time! They would be great for a wedding or bridal shower.  And, if you need a lot, you can order them and have them sent directly to your Dollar Tree for free shipping!  You can click on the link here or on the photo to order.  I also picked up some plastic spoons.  There are 48 spoons in a bag and you can order a minimum of 6 bags at a time.  That is $6.00 for more spoons than you can shake a stick at! (or a spoon!)

Pots de Creme
Click the button for the recipe.  Click the pictures below for a few tips on the recipe.  This recipe gave me a chance to use my new blender once again.  I am continuing to love it, by the way! I wrote about it here.
This is how the custard looks as you begin to cook it in the saucepan. I am using a bamboo spatula to stir so I won't scratch my pot.
As it cooks, the custard will thicken somewhat and it will coat the spoon or spatula like this.
Have the chocolate ready in the blender and then pour the hot mixture over it when you are ready to blend.
Picture
It didn't take long to get a nice thick chocolate mixture to pour into my little pots. This one has already cooled. It is so creamy and delicious. Now it just needs a little pizzazz!
Picture
Here is the pizzazz! Whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles!
     I hope my son's class loved them!  I may have to make some more.  Looking at them is making me hungry!
     So, if you are craving a French treat after seeing the food Lindsey and Austin are eating, here is something simple, sweet and delicious you can enjoy.  I hope you do!

Your Pots de Creme look absolutely delicious. They are such a lovely dessert. The food in France and Switzerland really is wonderful, and it's so nice when we can make it at home too. Thank you for sharing this post with us at The Hearth and Soul Link Party.
