Dark Chocolate & Ancho Chile Pot de Crème with Pepita Brittle

Name: Dark Chocolate & Ancho Chile Pot de Crème with Pepita Brittle
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 8 min
Total time: 18 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 4 oz dark chocolate (70%), finely chopped; 1 whole ancho chile, stemmed and seeded; ½ cup heavy cream; ¼ cup whole milk; 2 large egg yolks, room temperature; 1 tsp vanilla extract; Pinch of sea salt; ¼ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds); ¼ cup natural cane sugar; 1 tbsp unsalted butter; Fleur de sel for finishing

A single spoonful of this impossibly smooth dark chocolate custard hits with intense cocoa notes, then the ancho chile emerges—not as heat, but as a deepening complexity that makes you pause. Shattered pepita brittle adds a textural crunch and earthy-sweet element that transforms each spoonful into a moment of pure indulgence.
