Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 1/2 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
5 large egg yolks
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 Tbs turbinado sugar (ex Sugar in the Raw)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300F Bring cream and 2 Tbs granulated sugar to just a boil in a 2 qt heavy saucepan. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Let stand until melted, about 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Whisk together egg yolks, vanilla, and remaining 2 Tbs granulated sugar in a bowl and add chocolate custard, whisking constantly. Divide chocolate custard into (6) 4-5 oz ramekins and arrange in a roasting pan. Bake in a water bath uncovered in the middle of the oven until custards are set, about 40 minutes. Transfer ramekins to a cooling rack and cool completely. Chill, loosely covered, until cold, at least 4 hrs. Preheat broiler. Sprinkle 1 tsp turbinado sugar evenly over each custard and broil an a baking sheet 5-7 inches from heat until the sugar is caramelized, about 3-4 minutes (be careful not to burn it).
