Dark Chocolate Creme Brulee



Indulge in the velvety richness of dark chocolate with this exquisite Dark Chocolate Creme Brulee. It's a delightful twist on the classic dessert, combining the creaminess of traditional creme brulee with the deep, intense flavor of dark chocolate. The crackling caramelized sugar on top adds a satisfying contrast to the smooth custard beneath. Perfect for special occasions or when you simply crave a luxurious chocolatey treat.

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
