Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 teaspoons granulated sugar (for caramelized topping)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly pour the white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure smoothness.
- Divide the mixture among 6 ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
- Before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar over each custard. Caramelize the sugar using a kitchen torch until golden and crispy.
- Allow the caramelized sugar to set before serving the White Chocolate Creme Brulee.
- Enjoy the luxurious and decadent dessert!
