Chocolate Creme Brulee Recipe

  Dessert

Ingredients:
6 oz semisweet chocolate
2 c heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1/4 c sugar (for topping)

Directions:
Chill and chop chocolate into small pieces. Heat chocolate and cream together until melted and smooth. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Whisk together egg yolks. Slowly pour the chocolate into yolks until well mixed. Strain and place into ramekins.

Place a dish towel in a roasting pan. Put the ramekins on the towel, and pour in cold water about half way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 400 F until a thin skin forms, about 10-15 minutes. Chill 1 to 8 hours.

Just before serving, heat broiler, and sprinkle sugar on top of the chocolate mixture (use a strainer for even distribution). Place in roasting pan, and fill pan about half way with ice and water. Broil 2-3 minutes, and let cool 2-3 minutes.
I don't know what results you would get if you used milk chocolate rather than semisweet. Might be worthwhile to experiment if the milk chocolate is really important to your customer.
