Pots De Creme

[ssba]

Pots De Creme is such a fancy sounding dessert, but it is one of the easiest you will ever make!  Today I’m sharing a July 4th version that can easily be made ahead and taken outside in time to enjoy the fireworks.

Any chocolate lover will just go crazy over these!  They will be begging you to tell them how to make them.

One recipe filled about 7 – 9 oz clear plastic cups.  If you use smaller cups, you could make more servings.

 These can be made any time of year, and your sweet tooth will thank you!

Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!
