Time 7h45m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup heavy cream
Half a vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 tablespoons whole milk
2 medium egg yolks
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon, confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Bring a kettle full of water to a boil.
  • Warm the cream with the vanilla bean and seeds to just before boiling, whisking to disperse the seeds. Remove from heat, cover and let infuse for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the chocolate in the milk. Beat together the egg yolks and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Add the chocolate mixture and the vanilla cream and blend thoroughly. Pass through a fine mesh sieve and pour into 4 4-ounce ramekins or 6 3-ounce porcelain espresso cups.
  • Place the ramekins in an 8-inch baking pan. Fill the pan with enough hot water to rise halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in the oven until slightly puffed and spongy, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
