Silky, rich, and indulgent, this Chocolate Creme is the perfect dessert for any occasion. With its velvety texture and deep cocoa flavor, it’s an elegant yet simple treat you can make ahead and serve chilled.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a kitchen towel in a deep baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar over medium heat until warm. Add chopped dark chocolate and stir until fully melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to remove any lumps.
  5. Pour the custard evenly into ramekins and place them into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  9. Serve chilled with optional toppings like whipped cream, berries, or cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not skip the straining step for a smooth texture.
  • Let the custard chill completely before serving.
  • Can be made a day in advance and kept covered in the fridge.
