The chocolate pots de creme recipe is a decadent, easy-to-make dessert that will blow your socks off. My husband and I received a dinner invitation from friends one weekend. I didn’t want to arrive without anything because it was somewhat last-minute. Even though I didn’t have a lot of time or ingredients, I was still able to make these quickly after doing a quick inventory of my kitchen.
