Ghirardelli Valentine's Day ImpressionsMilk & White or Milk & Dark
Instructions
Add chocolate baking chips to blender and pulse several times to break up into small pieces.
In a medium sized pot over medium heat, whisk together milk, heavy cream, egg yolks and split vanilla bean. Continue stirring over heat while pressing onto the vanilla bean to release as much flavor as possible until mixture starts to thicken, about 5-10 minutes. Once it starts to coat the whisk and bottom of the pot, remove it from the heat. Discard vanilla bean pod.
Pour hot mixture into blender with chocolate pieces and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds to one minute. Transfer chocolate mixture to desired serving dishes and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
Combine the raspberries, heavy whipping cream and confectioners sugar in the blender until desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a glass cup and store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Alternatively, you can store in freezer if you need it to chill and thicken up faster.
To serve, spoon raspberry cream on top of pots de crème. Top with a Ghirardelli Valentine's Day Impressions chocolate with your message of choice.
