Creme Brulee: Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
4 ounces of chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Extra granulated sugar for caramelizing

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 300°F.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream, salt, and sugar for about 5 minutes until it simmers, stirring occasionally.
Mix the egg yolks and vanilla extract in a separate bowl then pour the cream mixture over the egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
Add the chocolate to the mixture and whisk until completely melted and combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture into ramekins, filling each one equally.
Put the ramekins in a baking dish and fill with boiling hot water until the water is about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for about 40-45 minutes until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool on the counter for a while. Once cooled, refrigerate until fully chilled for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on the top of each ramekin and caramelize using a torch or under the broiler for a few minutes until the sugar is melted and golden brown.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Verdict:

This chocolate creme brulee is a perfect dessert for chocolate lovers. The creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. The caramelized sugar on top adds a nice crunch and a hint of sweetness. This dessert is perfect for a dinner party or special occasion, but it’s also simple enough to make for a weekend treat.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the chocolate creme brulee with fresh berries or whipped cream on top for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation. Alternatively, it can be enjoyed on its own, letting the rich chocolate flavor speak for itself. Pair it with a glass of dessert wine or coffee for a perfect ending to a meal.
