Espresso Chocolate Creme Brulee

Espresso Chocolate Creme Brulee is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of espresso and chocolate with the creamy texture of classic creme brulee. This dessert is perfect for coffee and chocolate lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat.

To make this Espresso Chocolate Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and espresso powder over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until they are melted and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath 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 the brown sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust.
The Espresso Chocolate Creme Brulee is a luxurious dessert that combines the bold flavors of espresso and chocolate with the creamy texture of classic creme brulee. The custard is smooth and velvety, with a rich chocolate flavor that is perfectly balanced by the bitterness of the espresso. The caramelized sugar crust adds a satisfying crunch and a touch of sweetness to each bite.
