This delectable French dessert recipe dates back to the 17th century. Its name also refers to the baking dish, and it means "pot of custard" or "pot of creme." Although pots de creme traditionally bakes in small pots with lids, they can also be baked in other small porcelain dishes. Pots de creme is a loose custard on the spectrum of custards. When baking completes, it should not be set.

The basic ingredients in pot de creme remain the same, although the final ingredients remain the same. Count on counting eggs, egg yolks, cream, or milk, with either chocolate or vanilla for flavor. At a low temperature, the mixture is baked in the porcelain cups at a low temperature. The custard bake evenly thanks to a water bath.

Although chocolate and vanilla are common flavors, don't be afraid to try other flavorings. For example, espresso or zesty orange may be the creamy and decadent touch you're looking for. Fresh berries and whipped cream give a personal touch to a custom touch. Adding chocolate shavings, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar reveals a subtle elegance, depending on your choice of flavorings. How about a drizzle of homemade fruit syrup? With pots de creme, do we have you thinking #CelebrateEveryDay?
