Chocolate Crème Brûlée Recipe

If you’ve never made crème brûlée before, don’t be nervous! While being a pretty sophisticated dessert, it’s also fairly easy to make. Traditional French crème brûlée is a dessert we all know and love. It consists of a rich, creamy vanilla custard and it topped with crunchy caramelized sugar. As much as I love a classic vanilla serving of crème brûlée, I must admit… this chocolate version is even richer and more delectable!

How to Make Chocolate Crème Brûlée

Whisk the egg yolks and half of the sugar together. Combine the heavy whipping cream and remaining sugar together in a warm saucepan. Stir in the chocolate chips until they are melted. Allow the creamy chocolate mixture to cool for a minute. Whisk in the sugar and egg yolks. Stir in the vanilla extract. Distribute the chocolate mixture into small ramekins. Place the ramekins into a baking pan. Fill the baking pan with water. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover the ramekins with Saran Wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Sprinkle sugar on top of each ramekin. Heat the sugar with a food torch until it crystalizes. Serve, and enjoy!
