Combine delicious, decadent, easy, classy and adorable, and you've described these Edible Chocolate Pots de Crème Jars They're "make ahead" and a sure hit!

Talk about fun, beautiful, impressive, out-of-this-world-delicious and EASY. Now that's my kind of holiday entertaining recipe! Are you with me?

I love the holidays; but with all the extra tasks that get piled on at this time of the year, it's easy to go into overload. I used to go all out with entertaining during this season: inviting lots of friends and family for get-togethers, preparing fancy meals, and experimenting with all kinds of new recipes. But over the years I've learned to streamline, simplify, and keep the focus on things that really matter.

Wanna know one of my biggest secrets to keep our Café holiday entertaining simple? I choose a few phenomenal, but not labor-intensive, recipes, and serve them for multiple occasions. In other words, if I have three or four dinner parties during the holiday season, I serve the same thing each time. For the most part, the guests are unique to each gathering: sometimes friends from church; other times, neighbors; or it could be a work-related gathering. No one knows I'm serving the same menu, but it's wonderful for me, as I can do a lot of the prep (for all of the get-togethers) at one time.

I also find, when I repeat recipes several times in a row, that I can almost make them in my sleep. Plus, there's no stress about the results, because I've already "worked out the kinks". When I'm choosing these recipes (I call them my holiday signature recipes), I look for delicious dishes that can be, at least partially, prepared in advance. I look for recipes that involve minimal cleanup, utilize readily available ingredients and will have a beautiful presentation.

I've been thinking about my holiday signature recipes for this year, and thought I'd share my dessert choice for the upcoming holiday get-togethers. It's a sweet winner and it ticks all of my boxes! These Edible Chocolate Pots de Crème Jars with Raspberry Pomegranate Coulis are perfect for easy, classic entertaining.

The cute little chocolate jars, the decadent chocolate filling and the delicious raspberry pomegranate sauce are all make-ahead recipes and, though they look quite impressive, are really not labor intensive. The jars are made with cardboard cupcake wrappers that are painted with a small brush on the inside with melted chocolate. Several more layers of this painted chocolate are added with brief stints in the freezer in between.

Once the edible jars are done, the silky chocolate filling takes less than 5 minutes to throw together. I'm not kidding; it's all done in the microwave and blender in minutes! The coulis is simply a delicious sauce made from fresh raspberries, pomegranate arils, sugar and a splash of orange liqueur. It also comes together almost as fast as you can say, "Edible Chocolate Pots de Crème Jars with Raspberry Pomegranate Coulis"!

There is only one secret to this fabulous dessert; and it's not complicated - use good quality, exceptional chocolate. It makes all the difference in the world, actually the difference between good and FABULOUS. Exceptional chocolate is what makes every bite of the delicious filling silky smooth and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and I find it very important when making these edible chocolate jars. Good chocolate melts nicely, is super smooth and doesn't clump together if it cools a bit.

I used GREEN & BLACK'S ORGANIC Chocolate for my Edible Chocolate Pots de Crème Jars. It's a favorite here at The Café. I love that GREEN & BLACK'S ORGANIC Chocolate is reasonably priced and widely available. I can find it at most of my local grocery stores as well as at specialty markets. It's usually located in the fine chocolate section of the candy aisle. If you're not familiar with GREEN & BLACK'S ORGANIC chocolate, you're missing out on some wonderful chocolate.
