This is a simple dessert but seems a touch more special than the vanilla version. Serve biscotti on the side for more crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped and melted
- 2/3 cup whipping cream
- 2 tbsp milk
- Topping:
- 2 tbsp packed brown sugar or granulated sugar
Preparation
In bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until thickened; whisk in chocolate, then cream and milk. Pour into two 6-oz (175 mL) ramekins or custard cups. Place in shallow pan; pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up side of ramekin.
Bake in centre of 325°F (160°C) oven until edge is set, centre jiggles slightly and knife inserted in centre comes out creamy, about 35 minutes. Remove from water; let cool on rack. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 days.)
Topping: Place cups on small baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with sugar. Using blowtorch or placing 6 inches (15 cm) under broiler, heat until sugar bubbles and darkens, about 2 minutes. Chill, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
