Ingredients:

12 ounces high-quality bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped)

3 cups half & half

6 large egg yolks

8 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 cup Olive Lucy Traditional Olive Oil (Chiquitita, Arbequina, or Arbosana)

1/4 teaspoon salt

Blood Orange Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Olive Lucy’s Blood Orange Olive Oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

Place the chocolate and olive oil in a blender. Whisk the half & half, egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Sir the mixture constantly, making sure to scrape the bottom and edge of the pot with a heatproof spoon or spatula so that the mixture does not burn. Continue to stir until the the custard is coats the spoon and almost begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Immediately pour the custard over the olive oil and chocolate in the blender. Cover and hold the lid with a thick kitchen towel; blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Divide the chocolate mixture among 6 ramekins or cups and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Whip the cream and blood orange olive oil with the confectioners’ sugar with a mixer or in the blender until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pots de creme with whipped cream before serving.
