Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F.

  2. Bring cream and half-and-half to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to low, add chocolate, and whisk until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

  3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with ⅓ cup sugar until blended. Gradually whisk in hot chocolate mixture. Strain custard.

  4. Divide custard among oven-safe ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking pan and add hot water to reach halfway up the sides. Bake until just set, about 50 minutes. Or – if using steam oven, cook at steam mode 210 degrees F for 20 minutes.

  5. Remove ramekins from water bath and chill several hours or overnight.

  6. Before serving, sprinkle each custard with about 1 tablespoon sugar. Broil until sugar melts and turns golden, watching closely. Refrigerate briefly until set.
