DARK CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE
Originally from an Epicurious recipe from a resort in Arizona, we've lightened this recipe slightly, so it's not too thick in the mouth. It also morphs into two excellent different possibilities: S'more's Creme Brulee (top chilled ramekins with either graham cracker crumbs, or round grahams to fit, and brulee miniature marshmallows), Aztec Creme Brulee (add cinnamon and cayenne to the cream). The original is amazing on its own, even without the brulee'd topping. Cooking time does not include chilling time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F Bring cream and milk to boil in heavy large saucepan. (This would be when to add the cayenne and cinnamon if you're making the Aztec Creme Brulee) Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot chocolate mixture. Strain.
- Divide custard among 10 6 oz custard cups. Place cups in large baking pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Bake until custards are set, about 50 minutes. Remove from water; chill 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat broiler. Sprinkle each custard with 1 tablespoon sugar. Broil until sugar turns golden, watching closely to avoid burning, about 3 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich, intense flavor.
- Make sure the cream is cold before you start cooking it. This will help to prevent the mixture from curdling.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil, as this will cause the mixture to curdle.
- Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is completely melted before you proceed.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle the top of the crème brûlée with sugar and caramelize it with a kitchen torch.
Conclusion:
Dark chocolate crème brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and caramelized sugar topping, this dessert is sure to impress your guests.
