Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate, cream, and sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Tip: Be patient, as this step may take a few minutes.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and mint extract until well combined. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
- 3
Pour the chocolate mixture into 6 ramekins or small baking dishes. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Tip: This will create a water bath, which will help the posset cook evenly.
- 4
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Tip: Don't overbake, as this will make the posset too firm.
- 5
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
Tip: This will allow the posset to set properly and retain its texture.
- 6
Just before serving, sprinkle a few fresh mint leaves over the top of each posset.
Tip: This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
