Chocolate Mint Brulee with Mint Leaf Decoration
Chocolate Mint Brulee with Mint Leaf Decoration is a delectable dessert that combines the rich flavor of chocolate with the refreshing taste of mint. This dish is perfect for those who love the combination of sweet and minty flavors.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving: 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate, and 1-2 mint leaves for decoration.
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until well combined. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a ramekin and place it in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Remove the ramekin from the baking dish and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
To serve, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of the custard and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust. Garnish with a mint leaf and serve immediately.
This Chocolate Mint Brulee with Mint Leaf Decoration is a perfect combination of creamy custard, rich chocolate, and refreshing mint. The crispy caramelized sugar on top adds a delightful crunch to the smooth and silky custard. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
