Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz white chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping:
- 1/3 cup fine sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place 6 (7 to 8oz) ramekins into a roasting pan.
- Add the eggs, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until well-mixed and creamy. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add chopped white chocolate to a medium bowl.
- Add heavy cream to a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir, and heat until hot; simmer lightly; do not boil.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until thoroughly combined and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, slowly mixing continuously until thoroughly combined.
- You can use a spoon to scoop and discard the foam accumulated on top.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins.
- Pour hot water into the pan to come roughly halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 - 50 minutes. The crème brûlée is done when it looks set but still slightly jiggly in the middle.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days before serving.
- When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before caramelizing the sugar on top. Sprinkle a tablespoon of fine sugar on top, and using a torch, melt the sugar to form a crispy layer.
- If you don’t have a torch, broil the crème brûlée to melt the sugar. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Allow the crème brûlée to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
