Salted Caramel Chocolate Creme Brulee
Salted Caramel Chocolate Creme Brulee is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and caramel with a creamy custard base. This dish is perfect for special occasions or as a sweet treat to indulge in after a long day.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)
To make the Salted Caramel Chocolate Creme Brulee, start by preheating your oven to 325°F. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and salt over medium heat until it begins to steam. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Stir in the salted caramel sauce, chopped dark chocolate, sea salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the 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.
Once the custards are cool, sprinkle a tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top of each one. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy texture and the perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.
This Salted Caramel Chocolate Creme Brulee is a perfect dessert for any occasion. The creamy custard base is infused with the rich flavors of chocolate and caramel, while the crispy caramelized sugar topping adds a satisfying crunch. The sea salt adds a subtle savory note that balances out the sweetness of the dish. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
