Recently, reader Shirley Burke contacted us with a Culinary SOS request for chocolate pot de creme:
My husband and I recently visited downtown Napa, Calif. The amazing chocolate dessert at Carpe Diem is absolutely the best chocolate dessert I’ve ever tasted! And I am not a big dessert person. Satin-smooth chocolate with a texture between a pudding and souffle, but better. Not too sweet and topped with a small drop of whipped cream and then sprinkled with perfectly roasted and salted pepitas [pumpkin seeds]. Divine.
In this Eat Beat, Test Kitchen manager Noelle Carter demonstrates how to make Carpe Diem’s amazingly rich Mexican pot de creme. You can find the recipe here.
Catch our televised recipe demonstrations on KTLA-TV, Channel 5 every Wednesday and Friday toward the end of the 1 p.m. news hour; you can also watch the videos on Food’s homepage.
