White Chocolate Crème Brûlée





White Chocolate Crème Brûlée

serves 4


Ingredients:240ml single cream
160ml milk
4 egg yolks
55g caster sugar
90g white chocolate, melted
2tbsp caster sugar



Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/mark 3.


2. Heat the cream and milk in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat.


3. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 55g caster sugar until pale and creamy. Gradually whisk in the hot cream and milk. Return to the pan and heat for 6-8 minutes, or until the consistency is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.


4. Remove from the heat and mix together the custard and chocolate. Pour into four 125ml ramekins and place in a deep baking dish. Pour water into the baking dish- enough to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 40 minutes or until just set. Leave to cool and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.


5. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over each dessert and caramelise the tops. Use a kitchen blowtorch, or heat a metal spoon over an open flame (holding with an oven glove) and run it over the sugar.
