Directions:
- Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Get out a roasting pan that will comfortably fit 6-8 individual ramekins.
- Put the chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl.
- Whisk the sugar, yolks, vanilla and salt together in another bowl.
- Heat the cream to a scald.
- Pour half over the chocolate and let sit without stirring.
- Meanwhile, slowly (fast dribble) the remaining cream into the yolks, whisking constantly (wrap a wet towel around the base of the bowl to hold it steady.) When the yolks are tempered, stir the chocolate, then add to the yolks and mix very well.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh stainer, then ladle carefully into the ramekins.
- Put the roasting pan into the oven, then pour boiling water in the pan (don't get any in the ramekins!) until the water comes about 1/2 way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake about 1 hour.
- You will know the puddings are done when the edges seem soft, but set, but there is still a light-colored spot in the center about the size of a quarter that still jiggles.
- DO NOT OVERCOOK.
- I can not stress this enough.
- I promise, even though they look not done, they will firm up considerably outside of the oven.
- Remove the custards from the water bath carefully and set on the counter to cool.
- Then refrigerate them for at least 3 hours, preferably 6-8 hours, before serving.
- They need no garnish, but you might want to do something pretty like some edible flowers on the side, or even a little mint.
- When you eat them, they should be PUDDING like, not firm like cheesecake or other custards.
- They will be quite soft and creamy- not liquidy, just very much like chocolate pudding.
