Categories     Chocolate

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 CUPS whipping cream
1/2 CUP plus 16 TSPS sugar
3 OZ milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 CUP plus 1 TBSP malted milk powder
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
7 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Place cream, 1/2 CUP sugar, milk chocolate, and malted milk powder in large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring until chocolate melts and sugar dissolves. Whisk yolks in large bowl. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into yolks. Strain custard into large bowl. Chill until cold, stirring often, at least 2 hours. (Chilling prevents custard from separating during baking.) Preheat oven to 325 F. Divide custard among eight 3/4-CUP ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in roasting pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until just set in center, about 45 minutes. Remove from hot water; chill until cold, at least 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled. Sprinkle 2 TSPS sugar over each custard. Using kitchen torch, caramelize sugar. (Alternatively, preheat broiler. Place ramekins on rimmed baking sheet; broil until sugar turns deep amber, about 2 minutes.) Chill until sugar hardens, about 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
