Ingredients

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup Half-and-Half
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces Nestlé® Toll House Chocolatier 53% Cacao 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 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 teaspoons granulated sugar, divided

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. Place cream, Half-and-Half and vanilla extract in large saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Add chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth.
  3. Whisk egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar in large mixer bowl. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap; continue to refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  7. Heat 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.
  8. Refrigerate for 2 hours so that the topping can harden and the custard can cool and set.
