Method

  1. Heat the cream, chocolate and vanilla pod in a pan until the chocolate has melted. Take off the heat and allow to infuse for 10 mins, scraping the pod seeds into the cream. If using the vanilla extract, add straight away. Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.
  2. Beat yolks and sugar until pale. stir in the chocolate cream. Strain into a jug and pour into ramekins. Place in a deep roasting tray and pour boiling water halfway up the sides. Bake for 15-20 mins until just set with a wobbly centre. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hrs.
  3. To serve, sprinkle some sugar on top of the brûlées and caramelise with a blowtorch or briefly under a hot grill. Leave caramel to harden, then serve.

    Very tasty- I found it hard to judge when to take it out of the oven, and gave it a bit longer than it said.

    Great recipe and a wonderful change from the traditional version. This recipe fills 4 large ramekins nicely. Took about 40 minutes for it to set instead of 20 mins as recommended here. Served with a truffel peppermint cake with lots of raspberries!

    Lovely, but if you grill the sugar at the end rather than use a blow torch the entire pudding warms up and ends up very running. Still tastes fantastic though. I also halved the double cream and it still worked great.

    Gorgeous! Used Aldi's white chocolate and 6 rather than 8 ramekins and baked for 20 mins. Can't wait to try this one again.

    A really good dessert. This was the 1st time I've made creme brulee and everyone said its the best they've ever tasted. Will definately be making this again. If using a grill to get the caramel top I found its best to then chill after doing this as the creme part goes soupy in the heat and needs to re-set.

    If possible this should have six stars. I've never had creme brulee before and it was really lovely. I read the suggestions about the topping and made sure the grill was really hot before I put the puddings underneath. Absolutely no problem at all and the caramel was really crisp and crunchy. White chocolate seems to be a really good addition to custards and cheesecakes as it helps them to set without being a particularly noticeable taste, just a suggestion of something nice.

    This was made for me and was very tasty! I have now attempted to make it myself and so far so good. I just halved all the ingredients, but it still makes loads!
