Chocolate Creme Brulee

Not my recipe, but a UKTV offering published in the BBC Good Food Magazine, September 2007 (credit where credit is due). I couldn't find it here, and it is seriously wicked!!!

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 150C/ gas mark 2.
  2. Bring the cream up to the boil over a low heat. Turn off and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Add the chocolate to the cream and stir with a balloon whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks and half of the sugar. Whisk in the cream and chocolate mixture. Pour into four ramekins.
  5. Place the ramekins in a roasting tin and half fill with hot water. Place a piece of foil loosely over the tin.
  6. Cook in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes until firm around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the middle.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  8. Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of the remaining sugar over each ramekin so that it thinly covers the surface of the brulees.
  9. Use a blowtorch or hot grill to caramelise the sugar. Serve.

    Absolutely gorgeous and so simple to make! I use 75g of chocolate and it works brilliantly. The only issue is waiting for them to set without sampling them!!

    I made this this evening and it was divine. I was only making it for two people and looking at the above comments, I used only a third of the ingredients and it was definitely enough. Will make again - crisping up the sugar at the end is a hit too (yes I'm one of those people who has a blowtorch can you believe).
