Chocolate Pots

175g dark choc (use good LC choc)
250ml cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I actually like to use seeds scraped from vanilla pod instead)
1/4 tsp allspice
1 egg
8 x pots
Crush the choc to smithereens (as Nigella Lawson puts it - she has to take credit for most the recipe, I've just adapted it). Heat the cream until almost boiling, add vanilla, allspice and pour onto choc (Nigella uses the food processor but I find mine's not booty enough to do it so smash with rolling pin in a plastic bag first, then put it in the processor). Let it melt for 30 secs (give or take) and process until smooth for 30 secs, crack the egg into it and process until combined,about 45 secs.
Pour into whatever pots serving in (we've got little demi tasse cups so it makes heaps) and chill for 6 hrs or over night. Take out 20 mins before using so the chill is taken off. Divine!!!!! Awesome for a dinner party or just cause you're feeling decadent.
I got this from a recipe from another NZ site from a lady named Joce

Hi Kiwichick,

That receipe sounds totally yum...Tell me though, what chocolate do you use? I can't seem to find anything LC here?

Hi LesleyC
As I got this from another site, it sounded so yummy that I thought I would post it here before I have tried it myself! I have not yet found a good chocolate myself yet.

Can anyone else out there help us?

I read somewhere else that Lindt make a chocolate called 70% Cocoa, this has 32carbs in the whole block. Hope this helps.

You can apparently get it from Coles or Woolies, or I guess other supermarkets.

Some Atkins recipes call for unsweetened bakers chocolate. Does anyone know if we can get that in NZ?

Unsweetened Bakers Chocholate can be bought from www.usafoods.com.au I did get two but an unsuccessful recipe cost me one of them

I dont know if they sell to NZ. I dont see why not though.
