Ingredients:

1/4 C plus 3 tablespoons sugar
3 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
(1/2 cup) I prefer Ghirardelli
5 large egg yolks

FOR ASSEMBLING

4 Tablespoons sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Heat cream and 1/4 cup sugar in small sauce pan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves and the cream just begins to simmer. Add chocolate, and whisk until melted and smooth.

2. Whisk remaining 3 tablespoons sugar with the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly pour cream mixture into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Strain custard through a fine sieve.

3. Pour custard into four 4-oz. ramekins. Transfer ramekins to a roasting pan, and fill pan with enough boiling water to reach half way up the sides of ramekins. Bake until custards are just set, one hour to one hour 10 minutes. Carefully remove from water, and let custards cool.

4. Assemble the CREME BRULEE; refrigerate for one hour. Top each with one tablespoon sugar. Hold a small hand held kitchen torch at a 90 degree angle 3-4 inches from the surface of the custard. Move flame back and forth until surface is caramelized. Alternatively, broil custards on top rack until caramelized, one to two minutes.
