Ingredients
- 1 c whipping cream
- 1 c half & half
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 bar (4 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Dark Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into small pieces or 2/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 6 tsp. granulated sugar, divided
Instructions
- PREHEAT oven to 300° F.
- PLACE cream, half & half and vanilla extract in large saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Add chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth.
- WHISK egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar in large mixer bowl. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture.
- POUR mixture through fine sieve into six 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups.
- Place ramekins in 13 x 9-inch baking dish; fill pan with hot water to 1-inch depth.
- BAKE for 40 minutes or until custards jiggle slightly when pan is shaken. Cool custards in water until cool enough to handle.
- Remove custards from water; refrigerate for 2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap; continue to refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- PREHEAT broiler. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over tops of each custard. Place custards on baking sheet. Broil for 3 minutes or until sugar is melted and caramelized (rotate pan as needed to prevent burning). Alternately, tops can be caramelized using kitchen torch. Refrigerate for 2 hours so that the topping can harden and the custard can cool and set.
