Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 1/2 tablespoons good-quality salted butter
7 ounces milk chocolate, roughly chopped
3 eggs, separated

Steps:

Combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Do not stir. Cook over medium-high heat to a dark caramel, swirling as it begins to brown to distribute the sugar. Take off the heat and deglaze with the cream and butter. Add the chocolate, wait for a minute or two for it to melt and mix until smooth. Mix in the egg yolks.
Whisk the egg whites until they form firm peaks and then fold into the chocolate mixture. Divide between 6 4-ounce ramekins and chill for at least 6 hours.
