My Culinary Trial Room

The huss loves white chocolate. If I choose 85% cacao dark chocolate for my midnight snack, he would choose the straight opposite and go for white chocolate. I am not a hater, I love anything chocolate but I just prefer dark to white. I love making, serving and gifting sweet things to friends and family. And no dinner for us is complete without a scoop of icecream or a piece of homemade cake to share between the three of us. So when I had some white chocolate chips left over after making cookies for friends during the holidays, I thought I could make something for the huss exclusively. And with valentine's day coming up, I though it would be a great dessert option to share with you guys.

Prep: 15 min; Bake: 50 min; Makes: 3-4 servings
~*What U Need*~
Egg yolks - 3
Sugar - 6 tbsp, divided
Heavy whipping cream - 1 cup
White baking chocolate - 2 ounces
Vanilla extract - 1/4 tsp

How I Made it:
In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the cream, chocolate and 2 tablespoons sugar.

Heat over medium-low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolk mixture to temper the egg yolk mixture; return the mixture to the pan, stirring constantly till the mixture thickens slightly. {I missed taking pics of this step but its very similar to making icecreams}

Pour into ramekins. Place in a baking pan. Add 1 in. of boiling water to pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 50-55 minutes or until center is set. Remove from water bath. Cool for 10 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To broil the custards, place ramekins on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Broil on the top rack of the oven for 4-7 minutes or until sugar is caramelized. Keep an eye every 1-2 mins. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm.
