Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
7 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.
  • Bring the cream and milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk about 1 cup of the cream mixture into the yolks. Slowly whisk the yolks back into the cream mixture.
  • Return the pan to low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon with a thin film, and registers 175 to 180 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl with the chocolate and let stand for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk the mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla and then divide evenly among six 6-ounce ramekins.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
