By gaster16

Ingredients

• 2-1/2 cups whipping cream divided
• 5 (1 oz.) semisweet chocolate squares
• 6 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons light brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Cook 1/2 cup whipping cream and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Whisk together remaining 2 cups whipping cream, yolks, sugar, and vanilla until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Whisk 1 cup egg mixture into chocolate mixture until smooth. Cover and chill remaining egg mixture. Pour chocolate mixture evenly into 6 (8 oz.) custard cups, place cups in a 13x9” pan. Add hot water to pan to a depth of 1/2”. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until almost set. (Center will be soft.) Slowly pour remaining egg mixture evenly over custards, and bake 20-25 more minutes or until set. Cool custards in water in pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan, cover and chill at least 8 hours. Sprinkle each custard with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, place custards in a pan. Broil 5-1/2” from heat (with electric oven door partially open) until sugar melts (about 2 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes to allow sugar to harden.
