Dark Chocolate Creme Brulee
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 ounces dark chocolate 70% cocoa or higher, chopped
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons turbinado sugar for caramelizing
Instructions:
Set the oven temperature to 325F 163C
The heavy cream should be heated in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer
Take off the heat, stir in the chopped dark chocolate, and leave to melt for one minute
Mix until thoroughly mixed and smooth
Whisk the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a different bowl until the mixture becomes creamy and slightly thickened
Pour the chocolate and cream mixture gradually into the egg yolk mixture while continuing to whisk to blend
Pour the mixture into a large measuring cup or bowl after straining it through a fine-mesh sieve
In a baking dish, arrange four to six ramekins
Evenly pour the chocolate mixture into each ramekin
To create a water bath, fill the baking dish with hot water up to halfway up the sides of the ramekins
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the centers are slightly jiggling but the edges are set
The ramekins should be taken out of the water bath and allowed to come to room temperature
After that, chill them for a minimum of two hours, or until they are completely cold and solid
Before serving, evenly dust each creme brulee with about 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar
Melt the sugar with a kitchen torch until it turns golden and crisp
Savor your rich and creamy Dark Chocolate Crme Brulee after letting the caramelized sugar cool for a minute
