These Prosecco Truffle Pots are rich, chocolatey & boozy. But there's more good news: this dessert is also super quick & easy to make.

Three small glasses of chocolate dessert topped with whipped cream

Okay, I have for you a dessert that is rich, chocolatey & boozy. Sounds good, doesn't it? But I have more good news: it's also really quick & easy to make. Easy as in: get out of bed, put on your favourite tune (Moby: Extreme Ways), mess about for 5 minutes in the kitchen - whilst dancing and/or singing at the top of your voice - slam it in the fridge and forget about it until supper time.

That easy – and all done in the comfort of your still warm and cosy PJs. Could dessert get any better?

I don't think so. Did I mention it is very chocolately?

Small glasses of Prosecco flavoured chocolate truffle desserts

These Prosecco Truffle Pots evolved when I thought about making some truffles for Valentine’s Day. I don’t normally struggle when it comes to truffles, but this time I did (grrr). The first mix didn't have enough Prosecco flavour. The second mixture had too much. It was beginning to sound like a scene from Goldilocks & the Three Bears. I was beginning to get annoyed (still in PJs).

I contemplated taking a break and getting myself dressed, but then I began wondering what would happen if I forgot about the truffles and made an actual dessert instead.

Blow getting dressed.

I took what I’d learned from my failed attempts at the truffles and came up with these tiny pots of wonder - divinely satisfying, dark, velvety, dreamy and chocolatey. They are more akin to truffles than to a typical chocolate cream dessert due to a lower cream content and no eggs. They are soft and scoopable, but definitely firmer than a mousse or pannacotta style pudding. Just right.

Yes, there are lots of chocolate desserts out there, but if one of these Prosecco Truffle Pots lands on my table on any night of the year, I’ll be one happy diner.

Cuisine: World

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: Servings

Ingredients

▢ 135 ml/ ½ cup plus 1tbsp Double (heavy) cream
▢ 150 g/ 5 ½ oz Dark chocolate - chopped really fine
▢ ¾ tsp Light muscovado sugar
▢ 60 ml Prosecco
▢ 15 g/ ½ oz Unsalted butter - cut into small pieces

To serve

▢ Whipped cream
▢ Decorations of choice (e.g. coloured sugar/ sprinkles, grated chocolate, cocoa powder)

Instructions

Heat the cream and sugar over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the cream is just about to boil
Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl
Pour the cream over the chocolate & butter, then stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth
Stir in the Prosecco
Pour into 4 small glasses or espresso cups. Place in the fridge to set (about 4-5 hours)
Take out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving.
Right before serving, top with whipped cream and the decoration of your choice

Notes

This mixture would also be perfect drizzled over ice cream. Just make up half the quantity and pour over the ice cream after you have stirred in the Prosecco.
I made 4 desserts in glasses that each took approx 60ml of liquid. There was a little bit left over for um... me.

  Thanks Michelle - the best things come in small packages... or small pots when it comes to chocolate 🙂

Hi there

These desserts look lovely and I have a mother who is a little Prosecco obsessed haha so I was wondering if you had the recipe here on your site anywhere?

Thanks very much

  Hi Samantha. So sorry that the recipe had walked away (maybe it had a little too much Prosecco and went for a lie down). I've got it back up for you now - it seems to have vanished following a recent revamp of my site. Hope I'm in time for you to make it for your Mother.
