How to Make Mmm White Chocolate Creme Brulee

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Position rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (475ml) heavy cream and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add 6 ounces (170g) finely chopped high-quality white chocolate to the warm cream. Whisk constantly until completely smooth and melted.
  5. Gradually whisk the warm white chocolate cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yolks and prevent scrambling. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  6. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps or bits of chocolate.
  7. Ladle the custard into four 10-ounce (300ml) ramekins or custard cups.
  8. Place the ramekins in a large baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custards are just set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custards to fully set.
  12. Just before serving, preheat your broiler to high.
  13. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon (7g) granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard.
  14. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the sugar melts and caramelizes to a rich golden brown. Be cautious to avoid burning.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
