Creating Chocolate Pots de Crème is simple and can be broken down into these clear steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until it is just about to simmer. Remove from heat.
3. Add the chopped chocolate to the hot cream mixture. Stir until melted and smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined.
5. Gradually pour in the chocolate mixture while whisking constantly to prevent cooking the yolks.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any bits of cooked egg.
7. Place small ramekins or pots in a baking dish. Pour the custard mixture evenly into the pots, filling them about three-quarters full.
8. Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the pots, creating a water bath.
9. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
10. Remove the pots from the water bath and allow them to cool at room temperature for a few minutes before covering and refrigerating them for at least 2 hours or overnight.

With these easy steps, you can create these delicious Chocolate Pots de Crème with ease.
