Silky chocolate pots with crushed pink peppercorns

One of those days: it would be nice to prepare something impressive for dessert. After all, you have guests round and don't want to present them with something out of the sumermarket's deepfreezer. But then, you cannot really be bothered with making a Michelin-star worthy dessert either.
So how to creating something easy and quick which still looks like hours and hours of hard work?

Well, the inital idea was to recreate

the
Pink Peppercorn Encrusted Flourless Chocolate Cake. But slowly the cannot-be-bothered mood built up... Followed by a strike of genius: why not just have the cake topping with pink peppercorns! Or in nicer words: Silky Chocolate Pots with Crushed Pink Peppercorns. It worked out beautifully and looked beautiful.
The ganache will sit on my hips forever, but so what?! These pots are worth the extra hour in the gym!
