Ingredients

Servings

• 6 ounce Butterscotch chips
• 4 ounce Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 unit Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
3. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
7. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes.
8. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
9. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pots de creme are set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
10. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pots de creme cool to room temperature in the water bath.
11. Once cooled, transfer the ramekins to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
12. Serve chilled and enjoy!
