These salted caramel chocolate pots are an absolute dinner party game changer! They’re delicious, rich and luxurious – but only take 10 minutes to prep and include just 3 ingredients.
The pots contain a layer of smooth, salted caramel topped with a rich, dark chocolate ganache. The texture is smooth and creamy and seriously way better than anything store-bought. This recipe makes 6 servings and the ingredients cost me just £4.10 (just 68p per serving).
You can easily double up this recipe if you’re serving a crowd or entertaining guests over a few days. The pots last in the fridge for about 3 days (or the length of expiration on the cream).
The caramel used is Nestle Carnation Caramel – you’ll usually find it in the section tucked away in the back of the supermarket, which sells jelly and condensed milk. It’s deliciously thick and sweet! If you don’t want ‘salted’ caramel, just skip adding the pinch of salt to each of the ramekins.

1. Add the cream to a saucepan and heat gently. Do not boil – once you begin to see small bubbles form turn the heat off. (you just need the cream to be warm enough to melt the chocolate)
2. Add in the broken pieces of Bournville chocolate
3. Stir until smooth and melted. It might take a couple of minutes to become completely smooth – remember to scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon too. If the chocolate isn’t melting gently heat the cream a little more.
4. To the ramekins add a tbsp of caramel and smooth using the back of your spoon
5. Add a pinch of salt to each – optional
6. Then pour the chocolate mixture on top
7. Make sure they’re all evenly measured out
8. Cover, and place in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours before serving
