Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings
Cooking Tips:
- Use a kitchen torch to create the brulee topping for a perfectly caramelized finish.
- Be sure to temper the egg yolks by slowly adding the hot cream mixture to prevent curdling.
- Chill the brulee in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
5. Stir in the salted caramel sauce and chocolate chips until fully combined.
6. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the brulee is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
11. Before serving, sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the top of each brulee and use a kitchen torch to create a brulee topping.
