Vegan Mondays Continued: Chocolate Pots-de-"Creme"

These were very, very tasty little pots-de-creme made with a few simple ingredients.  No butter or cream to be found here!

Ingredients:

1 14-oz. can full-fat coconut milk
5 oz. bittersweet chocolate (I used Baker's), roughly chopped
1 t. grated orange zest
2-3 T. sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract

Instructions:

Heat a double-boiler over high heat.  Add coconut milk and chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth.


Pour into 2-3 mini-cocottes or small bowls, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until set.


My only complaint was that the texture was a tad bit grainy--I might try whisking it next time while it's heating.
