Chocolate Creme Brulee

Indulge in the decadent and rich flavors of Chocolate Creme Brulee, a classic French dessert with a chocolate twist. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

To make the Chocolate Creme Brulee, start by preheating your oven to 325°F. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chopped chocolate, stirring until it is completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until it becomes pale and creamy. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over each ramekin and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy, and chocolatey flavors of this delectable dessert.
This Chocolate Creme Brulee is a perfect combination of creamy and crunchy textures with a rich chocolate flavor. It is a perfect dessert for any special occasion or dinner party.
