"pot de creme" news and stories

Sugar High Friday was hosted by David Lebovitz this month and, to no one's surprise, the food blogging event was a chocolaty one. David's theme was Chocolate By Brand and he instructed all the participants to work with just one brand - any brand - of chocolate to learn about the nuances that belong specifically to that manufacturer. Entries have closed at this point, but the best part of any food blogging event is the roundup, where readers can get easy access to tons of great recipes, all in one place. David has started his roundup now and already has parts one, two and three posted, with four to follow shortly.

His own entry was a Chocolate Idiot Cake, made with Scharffenberger Chocolate, that is dead easy to make. Tsokolate submitted a Chocolate Monkey Bread. Jumbo Empanadas dipped some grapes in chocolate for faux truffles and Café Fernando's submission was a Chocolate Caramel Pot de Crème(pictured), with Côte d'Or Culinaire chocolate.
