]]> Red Velvet Pots de Crème is a rich and velvety dessert that combines the classic flavors of red velvet cake with the creamy, custard-like texture of traditional pots de crème. This indulgent treat is perfect for special occasions or when you want a luxurious, chocolatey dessert.

Origin Red Velvet Pots de Crème

Pots de crème, meaning “pots of cream” in French, is a classic custard-based dessert dating back to the 17th century. The red velvet twist adds a modern touch, incorporating cocoa and a hint of vanilla to mimic the beloved red velvet cake flavor.

What I Love About This Recipe

The silky-smooth texture melts in your mouth, creating an incredibly indulgent experience. The balance of chocolate and vanilla, combined with a light tang from buttermilk, makes it irresistibly rich. It’s also an elegant dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make ahead for dinner parties.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ teaspoon red food coloring (gel works best)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

  • Whipped cream and chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Arrange 4 small ramekins in a baking dish.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, milk, cocoa powder, and sugar until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour in a small amount of warm cream mixture while whisking to temper the eggs.
  • Gradually add the rest of the cream mixture, whisking constantly. Stir in vanilla, red food coloring, salt, and buttermilk.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky texture, then divide evenly among ramekins.
  • Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the ramekins. Cover loosely with foil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Serve chilled with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deep chocolate flavor.
  • Straining the mixture ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
