Decadent Chocolate Pots de Creme – A Quick and Easy Valentine’s Day Dessert

February 9, 2023 By Juliet 22 Comments

Today I’m sharing a decadent, chocolate Valentine’s Day dessert you’re going to love! It’s quick, easy, no-bake and adults-only.

What’s Valentine’s Day without chocolate?!

I don’t want to find out.

So I’m talking matters into my own hands.

This rich, creamy, oh so chocolatey dessert is decadent for sure.

It’s also quick and easy.

No baking required.

HOW TO MAKE DECADENT CHOCOLATE POTS DE CREME

I promised quick and easy … only 5 ingredients,

7 if you count the whipped cream, and it takes all of 10 minutes.

Ingredients on countertop for Pots de Creme.

Heat milk, combine ingredients in a blender pour into small ramekins and chill.

That’s it!

When ready to serve, make whipping cream and garnish with mint … or a raspberry.

Or cup and saucer.

And while we’re kicking things up a notch

ROMANTIC FIRESIDE DESSERT FOR TWO

Why not pair our adults-only dessert with an adult-beverage?!

‘Emily in Parks Fans Have Fallen Head Over Heels for This Cocktail’

So says this article in Delish.com

If you’re caught up on season three you’ve seen Emily and friends enjoying Kir Royale’s.

The standard Kir Royale is made with Creme de Cassis, a black currant liqueur.

My Raspberry Kir Royale version features Chambord (a black raspberry liqueur) instead.

I’ve been collecting vintage silver-plate trays which are fun for serving.

You can find them in consignment stores and Etsy always has a nice selection.

So there you have it.

    This sounds easy, quick and doable. I have not tried Chambord, but love raspberry (and chocolate) so I’m going to try these for Valentine’s Day. Love your silver-plated tray and brass candlesticks. A beautiful setting, very elegant. I like that you use classic pieces, things you may already have and not something designed for just a particular holiday. Your style is so inspirational. I just wish I could find those great woven book baskets on your bookcases. Lol. I even have my sisters looking for them as they go antiquing/thrifting.

      Hi Deanna, I wish I could find those book baskets again too. I’m sure they came from the Container Store at least ten years ago. If you have any luck finding them let me know. Chambord is a really great liquor … I love it mixed with champagne and it’s so good in this dessert. The bottle’s beautiful too. Thank you for the lovely compliments … you’ve made my day! xo

    This recipe looks less rich and easier than than the one I’ve used previously — will definitely try it! It is becoming harder to justify heavy cream as the sole liquid in a dessert recipe (but I NEVER object to whipped cream on top!). And I love Kir and Kir Royale: Chambord will be an interesting change.

      It tastes a lot richer than the ingredients suggest … and who doesn’t have chocolate chips in the pantry. So easy peasy … and yes to whipped cream! Happy Valentine’s Day. xo

    Hi Juliet,
    The chocolate pots look very decadent. rich and pretty. If you are serving this I know who is going to be on a sugar high for a few hours.
    I used to be the President of the Chocoholics club but I gave up my position.
    I try to stay away from chocolate. I love the smell of it, the smell can so easily temp me back into the danger zone.

      Chocolate is definitely my weakness … and I try to have a little taste after lunch and dinner. But I’m definitely eating the entire pot on Valentine’s Day!!! President of the Chocoholics?! … I love it! xo

    Juliet, This looks so pretty and delicious. I definitely will try this! I love that it’s pretty simple. Chocolate Mousse can be a lot of work. This seems much better. Also the drinks look perfect and I will try the Chamboard..as creme de Cassis can be too sweet! Love how pretty you made everything. I have some silver trays from my grandma and you inspired me to get them out.
    Good idea for next week! x

Sweaters, jeans, and loafers are right in my wheel Sweaters, jeans, and loafers are right in my wheelhouse, and I adore my new cropped, cable knit sweater from Target. Paired with a wide leg trouser jean (I’m also a big fan 👖) and suede loafer mules. It’s the perfect outfit to navigate the transition from winter to spring. Which, let’s face it, has been a little bumpy. Oh, and a pop of spring color 💚 in this cute woven, bean green bag.
 
Speaking of that, after major downpours all weekend, the sun is peaking through today and it’s a little warmer, and slightly humid. Enjoying it while I can because more rain is expected to night through tomorrow. Oof.
 
Happy Monday! I’ll link my outfit in stories.
