Espresso Chocolate Brulee with Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans

Espresso Chocolate Brulee with Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of espresso and chocolate. This dish is perfect for coffee lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat.

To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon chocolate covered espresso beans


To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and espresso powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk until it becomes pale and frothy. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until it has melted and the mixture is 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 edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekin from the baking dish and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, sprinkle the top with granulated sugar and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust. Garnish with chocolate covered espresso beans and serve.
