Gingerbread White Chocolate Creme Brulee
Gingerbread White Chocolate Creme Brulee is a decadent dessert that combines the warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread with the rich sweetness of white chocolate. This dish is perfect for the holiday season or any special occasion.
To make this Gingerbread White Chocolate Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
To begin, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate chips, stirring until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Slowly pour the white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly 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 you are ready to serve, sprinkle each custard with a thin layer of granulated sugar. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it is golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.
This Gingerbread White Chocolate Creme Brulee is a rich and indulgent dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The creamy custard is infused with warm spices and the white chocolate adds a luxurious sweetness. The caramelized sugar on top provides a satisfying crunch and a beautiful contrast to the smooth custard underneath. Enjoy this delicious dessert as a perfect ending to any meal.
