Ingredients
Heavy Cream
Dark Chocolate (60–70% cocoa)
Egg Yolks
Granulated Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place ramekins in a deep baking dish.
2. Heat cream until hot, then remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt until pale.
4. Slowly whisk in chocolate mixture to temper the eggs.
5. Strain custard through a fine mesh sieve. Pour into ramekins.
6. Add hot water to the baking dish halfway up the ramekins.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
8. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
9. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize with a torch.
Notes
Straining the custard is key for a smooth texture.
Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
Torch the sugar topping just before serving for maximum crunch.
