Everybody wants a signature candy dish across the holidays. I’m speaking concerning the addicting deal with that household and associates beg for yr after yr. Because of their creamy texture and butterscotch taste, these salted caramel pots de creme are the proper candidate.

However first, I’ve obtained to offer credit score the place it’s due. A number of years again, I went to my (now favourite) restaurant, Gjelina, for the primary time. It’s now turn into a Venice Seashore legend, however again then it was a brand-new Italian sizzling spot. I, like everybody else, was blown away by the charred pizzas and flavor-bomb veggies that got here out of the wood-burning range on the heart of the restaurant. As Adam and I wrapped up our meal, the waiter talked about that we couldn’t miss the pastry chef’s well-known Butterscotch Pots de Crème. Nicely, after that first chunk, I instantly understood why.

As quoted in Gjelina’s cookbook, “The dramatic contrasts in taste and texture are deeply satisfying—smoky caramel-flavored custard, mixed with whipped crème fraîche, thick caramel sauce, and flaky sea salt.”

I’ve been making my very own model for the vacation feast we host for a number of shut associates yearly. And although I’ve developed the recipe a bit from Gjelina’s, it nonetheless maintains that very same sweet-salty-smoky mixture that everybody goes loopy for. Even once we took a break from internet hosting resulting from COVID, there was no method I’d let the vacation season go us by with out making my favourite dessert. Fortunately, the events are again on, and after I whipped up a check run batch the opposite night time, it immediately felt extra like Christmas.

Because the identify implies, it’s a french custard—actually, a “pot of cream” (YUM). It’s typically chocolatey, typically topped with whipped cream, and all the time intensely satisfying. For sounding so fancy, the components are fairly easy: eggs, sugar, butter, cream, salt, and vanilla. That’s it! You can also make them in any small oven-proof containers—bowls, ramekins, small mugs all work nice. However to make issues all of the extra festive, I like serving mine in cute Spanish-style stemless wine glasses. They’re informal and chic and showcase the custard’s lovely texture.
