Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Set 6 (6 ounce) ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Pour cream, sugar, and vanilla into a saucepan, and place over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and heat until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat. Place egg yolks in a large bowl, and slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have added approximately a cup of cream to the yolks. At this point, pour in the remaining cream, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips, and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Stir the mixture until the chocolate is smooth and evenly distributed. Pour into ramekins, and bake in preheated oven until the center is just set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool for 45 minutes, then place into the refrigerator, and chill until cold, about 6 hours.
- Place oven rack in topmost position. Turn oven to Broil.

CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Place six (8-ounce) ramekins in a roasting pan large enough to hold them completely flat.
- In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolks, and sugar until just combined. Meanwhile, scald the cream in a medium saucepan. Off the heat, add the chocolate and espresso and whisk until the chocolate is melted. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk in the coffee liqueur and vanilla. Transfer to a large measuring cup and pour into the prepared ramekins until full.
- Place the pan in the oven and carefully pour enough of the hottest tap water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the custards are set on the edges but still a little jiggly in the middle when gently shaken. Remove the custards from the water bath, cool to room temperature, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm.
- To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly on each custard. With a kitchen blowtorch held one inch from the surface of the creme, heat the sugar until it caramelizes evenly. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your crème brûlée.
- Make sure your oven is properly calibrated. An inaccurate oven temperature can result in undercooked or overcooked crème brûlée.
- Use a water bath. This will help to create a smooth and even custard.
- Chill your crème brûlée thoroughly before brûléing it. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
- Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the crème brûlée. This will give you the best results.
Conclusion:
Crème brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little care and attention, you can easily make this classic dish at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
