You'll love the silken texture of this dessert. Other flavorings can
be substituted for the mint, or it can be left out entirely.

Bring cream to a boil in a small, heavy saucepan.

Cut butter into chunks. Put butter, chocolate chips, egg yolks, and
mint extract in bowl of food processor or blender; add hot cream.
Process until smooth (about 30 seconds). Adjust flavoring to taste.

Pour mixture into small dessert dishes and chill in freezer about
45 minutes, or in refrigerator for several hours. Decorate with mint
leaves or whipped cream, if desired.

Yield: 6 Servings

* Tip: Recipe can be prepared up to a day ahead and stored, covered,
  in refrigerator.

Microwave Version:

Pour cream into a glass bowl or 2-cup glass measure. Microwave on
100% power until tiny bubbles break the surface (2 to 3 minutes).
Continue with "pour & chill" step.
