If you like Rum this dessert is for you! Wow the taste of the rum in these chocolate pots de crème is pretty pronounced. I simply love them! Pots de crème are so simple to make and they are like comfort food, once you take the first bite you are completely satisfy. I paired the pots de crème with Financiers. Absolutely delicious!
Hoa and I we have been eating these little pots de crème for the last few days and I have to say they are fantastic!
