Chocolate and Grand Marnier Creme Brulée image

An intensely flavoured creme brulée combining two favourites: chocolate, and Grand Marnier. Both flavours are strong, but this can easily be fixed by using less for those who prefer a more mild flavour. Time setting in fridge NOT included.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 egg yolks
1 cup icing sugar
2 cups whipping cream
3 -4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 -2 tablespoon Grand Marnier
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons icing sugar (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat the Oven to 325ºF.
  • Whisk together egg yolks and 1 cup icing sugar until the mixture thickens and is a pale yellow.
  • Simmer the cream over low heat, melting the chocolate in it.
  • Add vanilla extract and Grand Marnier to cream and remove from heat.
  • Slowly add the cream to the egg mixture, whisking continually to prevent curdling.
  • Divide mixture between four ramekins.
  • Place ramekins in a cake pan and fill with water about halfway up the outside of the ramekins. Bake until edges begin to set, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool at room temperature, and then refridgerate for at least two hours.
  • Before serving, turn on the broiler and allow it to heat up.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 4 tablespoons of icing sugar over the tops of the creme brulées covering them evenly.
  • Broil until the sugar caremelizes, be careful not to let it burn. It should be cool under the carmelized sugar (the ramekin won't be though!).
