Mary Berry’s Chocolate Pots are small, decadent chocolate desserts served in ramekins or small cups. They are made with dark chocolate, cream, sugar, and eggs, creating a silky and rich texture similar to chocolate mousse or ganache. These individual desserts are quick to prepare and perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, chopped)

  • Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 3: Add the Egg Yolks
