*Can be found in most well-stocked natural foods or health food stores. Xanthan gum is a naturally derived stabilizer that is produced from the fermentation of corn syrup.

Place in a 13x9x3-inch pan. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil; keep hot and reserve. Arrange rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place heavy cream in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat - do not boil. Place the chocolate morsels/chunks, granulated sugar, and espresso powder in the blender jar. Pulse on Chop 10 to 15 times to chop the chocolate somewhat finely. Add the egg yolks and blend for 20 seconds on Mix. With the blender running on Purée, add the hot heavy cream through the pour lid in a slow steady stream and blend until chocolate is completely melted, about 45 seconds. Spoon off foam and discard (may also put in a fat separator and pour off liquid until just foam remains). Stir in vanilla. Pour equal amounts of the chocolate mixture into each of the ramekins. Place pan in oven and add hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in preheated 325°F oven for 55 to 60 minutes. Edges will be set, centers may still be slightly jiggly. Transfer ramekins to a rack to cool completely, uncovered, about 1 hour. (They will set as they cool.) Serve warm, or chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours. Chocolate Pots de Crème may be garnished with freshly whipped cream and/or chocolate curls.
