Introduction

This is a very easy, extremely rich chocolate Creme Brulee. I often will skip the final dusting of sugar as it seems unnecessary with this delicious dessert.

Ingredients

    3 cups of heavy cream
    4 room temperature egg yolks
    1 whole egg
    1/3 cup of sugar
    4 oz. finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
    1 teaspoon Vanilla.
    * optional dusting of fine sugar

Directions

Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until scalded (bubbles around edges, but NOT boiling). Pour over bittersweet chocolate in separate bowl, mixing gently until chocolate is melted. Allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a mixer, mix 4 room temperature egg yolks with 1 whole egg cup of sugar. Mix slowly (Do NOT beat).
Slowly add scalded cream/chocolate mixture to eggs and add 1 Vanilla. (Be careful so as NOT to scramble the eggs) Mix just till combined.
Pour into ramekins sitting in a water bath (water halfway up sides of ramekins).

Bake at 300 for 35-40 minutes (this might take longer, tops of mixture should look somewhat firm, but not totally solid).
CHILL for several hours before eating.
Just before serving, add 1 tbls extra fine sugar to top of each and use torch to melt sugar. Chill for several minutes to harden. (to make sugar very fine, grind it in a food processor for 30 seconds).
