Dark Chocolate Pot de Crème
Silky dark chocolate custard with a finishing infused-cream rosette. Bittersweet and grounding, it dovetails beautifully with myrcene strains.
Ingredients
- 6 oz 70% dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 5 large egg yolks
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream (for topping)
- 3 tsp cannabis-infused coconut oil, melted and cooled (~5mg THC per tsp + ~2.5mg per portion via cream)
- Cocoa nibs and flaky salt, to garnish
How to make it
- 1
Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- 2
In a saucepan, gently heat 1 1/2 cups cream and the milk until just steaming. Pour over chocolate; rest 1 minute, then whisk smooth.
- 3
Whisk yolks, sugar, and salt; slowly temper in the warm chocolate mixture, then strain into 6 ramekins.
- 4
Bake in a water bath at 300°F (150°C) for 30–35 minutes until edges are set but centers still wobble.
- 5
Cool to room temperature, then chill 2+ hours.
- 6
Whip the 1/2 cup cold cream to soft peaks. Fold in cooled, melted cannabis-infused coconut oil for even, gentle dosing.
- 7
Pipe or dollop the infused cream onto each pot de crème; finish with cocoa nibs and a tiny pinch of flaky salt.
Cooking tips
- Folding melted-and-cooled infused oil into whipped cream is the safest way to dose without breaking the texture.
- Pair with Cherry Pie or Skywalker OG for deep, indulgent comfort.
- Make ahead—the custards are even better the next day.

Why this pairing works
Myrcene — in your strain and on your plate
Myrcene is the most common terpene in cannabis and the engine behind many indica-style sedating effects. Earthy and herbaceous, it loves rich, slow-cooked, comforting foods.
