Ingredients

  • 150ml/5fl oz double cream
  • ½ vanilla pod
  • 100ml/3½fl oz milk
  • 125g/4oz dark chocolate
  • 2 free-range egg yolks
  • 1 heaped tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 rounded tsp ground ginger
  • 30g/1oz preserved stem ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 140C/275F/Gas 1.
  • Warm the cream and vanilla pod and seeds in a saucepan. Whisk lightly to disperse the vanilla seeds, turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Set aside to infuse for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, over a low heat, melt the chocolate in the milk in a small saucepan.
  • Beat the egg yolks, icing sugar and ground ginger together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the chocolate mixture and vanilla-infused cream, remove the vanilla pod and whisk together until well combined.
  • Place the chopped ginger and a little ginger syrup into the bottom of the ramekins. Top with the chocolate mixture. Place the ramekins into a deep roasting tin and pour in enough hot water to come up to at least two-thirds up the side of the pots. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until slightly puffed-up and spongy to the touch of a finger. The surface of the pot should form a little crust.
  • Remove the pots from the oven, allow to cool for a few moments and lift the pots from the water onto a clean tray. Chill in the fridge for at least six hours before serving. Serve straight from the fridge.
