   --   
   Last week "Tired and REtired Sandi" wondered if anyone had a recipe for Pots   
   de Creme.   
      
   Sue B. suggested that "The Pioneer Woman" has a recipe on her website.   
      
      
   Carol A sent in this recipe:   
      
   Quick Pots de Cr+¿me   
      
   Place 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2   
   teaspoon espresso powder (optional) in a blender or food processor and pulse   
   until finely ground.   
      
   Add 1 large egg and pulse just until the mixture is smooth.   
      
   Heat 1 cup heavy cream to just below a boil, with small bubbles forming around   
   the edge of the saucepan.  Turn on the blender or processor, and slowly add   
   the cream.  Scrape down the sides of the container if necessary.   
      
   Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse to blend.   
      
   Divide among 6 individual serving cups, about 1/3 cup cr+¿me in each. Cover   
   with plastic wrap, not touching the surface.  I put the six ramekins in a   
   9″ x 13″ pan, then covered the pan with plastic wrap;   
   consolidating them made it easier to move the cr+¿mes around.   
      
   OK, here comes the not-so-fast part: Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.   
      
   The cr+¿mes will become quite solid; firmer than pudding, somewhere between   
   the texture of thick Greek yogurt and cream cheese.   
      
   Serve with whipped cream or simply garnish with a sprinkle of confectionersCÇÖ   
   sugar.   
      
      
   *Note - the recipes are submitted by fellow Collectors Newsletter   
   readers and are not checked for accuracy or tested by the TIAS staff. Keep in   
   mind that many of these recipes were created at a time when there were no   
   worries about such things as raw eggs, for example - so modern kitchen safety   
   should prevail.   
      
   8. As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods   
   from their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to   
   help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.   
      
   Does anyone have a not-so-healthy vintage recipe that they've updated?   
      
      
   If you have a vintage recipe request send it to recipes@tias.com and we might   
   just publish it here.   
      
   TIAS.com merchants have well over 4,000 cookbooks for sale! You can
