This dairy-free Chocolate Pots de Creme recipe is easy to make with only 5 ingredients –dark chocolate, coconut milk, egg yolk, stevia, and salt, and is so creamy it melts in your mouth. So even though the name “pot de creme” is quite fancy, don’t be intimidated by this recipe!
My husband inhaled these and the boys enjoyed them too, in spite of their aversion to dark chocolate. I like this Paleo dessert because it relies on stevia as its primary sweetener and does not have any added honey. It can also work well for those on a keto diet if made with dark chocolate that is 80% cacao or more. Serve this dairy-free dessert after dinner or at the end of a family brunch.

Is there such a thing as an egg substitute for this recipe, unfortunately I can’t eat eggs?

I’m going to give this a whirl with my dark chocolate chili bar :-)
Kathleen says
Is the dark chocolate sweetened or unsweetened?
Michele says
Looks & sounds delish! I’m allergic to chicken eggs, but can have duck eggs so I’d like to try substituting, but since duck egg yolks are a little larger, would you recommend using 1 or 2, based on your experience with this recipe? I just realized that I do not know what eggs do for this kind of recipe! Thx!

Looks great !! Have to give it a try.
What if I don’t have vitamix? would the bullet help?

Would baker’s chocolate work or does it have to be sweetened dark chocolate?
