Chocolate Pots De Creme

Tried out the chocolate pots de creme recipe from the joule app this weekend. Never had an issue with the original version, but these didn't set! It was kind of embarassing as I had some friends over. I had them at 70c for 1 hour as recommended for the "classic" pudding cup texture. Was it heat? Time? Not enough egg yolk? That's the one spot I can think of where I messed up. Their recipe says "about 7 egg yolks" so I just used 7 instead of weighing them. Any thoughts?

You have to cool it in the fridge to totally set. It works, but all that chocolate needs to solidify.

Hmm...I did 15 minutes out of the bath then 15 in an ice bath. Then 2 hours in the fridge. Would it need longer then that? Also I froze them and had one later. It was good as a frozen custard but it melted into a liquid by the time I finished it so I'm not sure these would completely set.

Ok so no one helped here. I will say that I recooked one at 80c and it was fine. So for anyone who cares do a test jar at 70 or 75 first before wasting your evening.
