I love simple recipes because I’m too busy to tackle the fancy stuff. So when I found the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Pots de Creme dessert and saw how easy it was, I was intrigued. Because I especially love simple recipes that taste like you’ve slaved over them for hours. 

I made my own version of this delicious chocolatey dessert with a holiday twist: Peppermint Pots de Creme.

Peppermint Pots de Creme is a rich, no-bake, no-cooking-required chocolate dessert with a hint of mocha and peppermint. This recipe is unbelievably simple to make and perfect with whipped cream and bits of peppermint sprinkled on top!

If you love chocolate and peppermint, you’re going to fall in love with this rich chocolatey dessert. With a hint of coffee and peppermint and delicious whipped cream and peppermint bits, we’ve got a mouthwatering satisfying dessert right here. 

And when I said this Peppermint Pots de Creme recipe was easy, I meant easy.

When you see this kind of dessert, you normally have to cook it over the stove and hope to get it to the proper temperature and all those fancy things that are so easy to mess up when you’re distracted with kids or maybe just life.  But this Peppermints Pots de Creme recipe doesn’t require any cooking! 

Peppermint Pots de Creme is a rich, no-bake, no-cooking-required chocolate dessert with a hint of mocha and peppermint. This recipe is unbelievably simple to make and perfect with whipped cream and bits of peppermint sprinkled on top!

All you do is whip everything together in a blender and chill for 2-3 hours or until you’re ready to serve. 

I hope you enjoy this delightful dessert as much as my family did!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Put the chocolate chips in a blender. Add the eggs, peppermint extract, and salt. Pulse a few times until the chocolate chips are partially chopped.
  2. Turn on the blender and carefully open the little opening and slowly pour the very hot (it needs to be nearly boiling) coffee into the chocolate in a slow steady stream. If you can’t do that safely, then turn the blender off, pour the coffee in slowly, put the lid back on, and blend until it’s smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into mason jars or cups and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm.
  4. Whip the whipped cream and sugar and add to the top of your peppermint pots de creme!

Notes

Note: In order to melt the chocolate and cook the eggs properly, you need really hot coffee for this recipe. (Apparently my old coffee maker wasn’t quite up to the task because it didn’t melt the chocolate fully the first batch I made. The second time, I heated the coffee in the microwave and the results were much better.)

  48. I think they are all lovely gift baskets. You are very talented coming up with themes. If I have to choose 🙂 I would say the Curious Cook basket for the Pioneer Woman. The Fascinating Fashionista comes in a tight second. I would feel totally blessed winning either one. Thank you for your generosity. Merry Christmas!

  63. I gotta say it’d be the Curious Cook gift set. First because I’ve got a set of that same bakeware (my husband broke one of the of them, so I need the middle one back). Two, because I absolutely love the Pioneer Woman. 🙂
