One weekend my husband and I were invited to dinner by friends. It was a bit of a last-minute thing and I didn’t want to show up empty-handed. I didn’t have a lot of time or ingredients, but after a quick inventory of the kitchen, I was able to whip these up in no time.

Step by Step Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the cream just until hot. You can use the same chocolate as I do in this recipe by clicking here. (#paidlink). That said, you can use semi-sweet, bitter-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate. Place the chocolate, vanilla, salt, and coffee granules into a medium mixing bowl. When the cream is just hot (forming bubbles), pour it over the chocolate mixture. Let it stand for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate, then mix to combine. Whisk egg yolks and sugar thoroughly and combine with the chocolate and cream. Add the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 4 minutes. Pour the chocolate mixture into dessert glasses dividing it evenly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with chocolate shavings, and enjoy!
