6 egg yolks |
1 vanilla bean, split |
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces |

8 pot de creme cups (4 to 5 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. Bring the cream and sugar to a boil with the vanilla bean in a saucepan.

3. Strain cream into a bowl and add chocolate. Whisk smooth, whisk in coffee, and pour into molds. Refrigerate until cooled.
