Cozy up to a warm, velvety treat that comforts any winter blues! This Chocolate Hazelnut Pot de Creme with Raspberry Coulis recipe promises to bring comfort to chilly moments. Try it below:

Prep: 10 min | Cook: 10 min | Bake: 30 min | Chill: 2 hr | Serves: 8

INGREDIENTS:
🍓 1 cup Longo’s Organic 3.8% Milk
🍓 1 cup 35% whipping cream
🍓 4oz (125g) semi-sweet chocolate baking chocolate, chopped
🍓 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
🍓 6 large Longo’s Enriched Coop Egg Yolks
🍓 1/4 cup granulated sugar
🍓 1/4 tsp salt
🍓 Sweetened whipped cream (optional)
🍓 Fresh raspberries (optional)

Raspberry Coulis:
🍓 1 pkg (300g) Longo’s Frozen Raspberries
🍓 1/3 cup granulated sugar
🍓 2 tsp fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:
Raspberry Coulis: Combine raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in saucepan set over medium heat; simmer, stirring often, for 5 to 6 minutes or until raspberries have broken down. Strain raspberry sauce through a fine mesh strainer, pressing to push as much fruit pulp through as possible. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate coulis until ready to use.

Warm milk and cream together in saucepan set over medium heat until steaming. Remove from heat; add chocolate and hazelnut spread. Return to low heat and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes or until chocolate is fully melted.

Whisk egg yolks with sugar and salt in separate bowl. Whisk in a little of the hot milk mixture to temper; whisk back into remaining hot milk mixture until combined. Strain into large measuring cup. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes (skim off any foam that forms on the surface before pouring).

Divide mixture among eight 1/4-pint jars or oven-proof espresso cups set in baking dish. Carefully set in oven and add enough hot tap water into baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the jars. Bake in preheated 300°F oven for 30 minutes or until edges are set but centres are still a bit wobbly.

Oh the possibilities of panettone! Here are 2 sweet or savoury ways to enjoy your panettone👇

🍰 Panettone Grilled Cheese: Cut a centre-cut slice of Longo’s Curato Il Panettone Classico in half lengthwise to create two equal sides. Spread one side of each piece with softened butter. Layer one unbuttered side with thin slices of camembert cheese. Top with a thin layer of deli ham or prosciutto (optional) and cap with remaining slice, buttered-side out. (Add even more flavour with some apricot fruit spread drizzled over the cheese layer.) Toast sandwich in a skillet until golden and cheese is melted.

🍰 Panettone French Toast: Slice Longo’s Curato Il Panettone Classico horizontally into rounds, about 3/4 inches thick. Whisk up a simple custard in a pie plate, using a ratio of 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk per panettone slice. Add a splash of vanilla or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavour. Soak panettone slices on each side and pan-fry in butter for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden. Cut into wedges and serve with toppings such as fresh fruit, yogourt, maple syrup, fruit spread and/or powdered sugar.

Dare to Devour! Our new Longo’s Chocolatier Killer Brownies are dangerously good. They’re moist, chewy, and beyond decadent. We challenge you to try and have just one.
