Chocolate Truffle Crème Brulee

6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup bittersweet chocolate pieces or chips 1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons excellent quality pure vanilla extract

5 large egg yolks

METHOD

1Heat cream in microwave until very hot, about 2 minutes. Pour hot cream over chocolate pieces in a large bowl. Whisk until chocolate is completely melted.

2Whisk in remaining ingredients. Divide between 6 ramekins.

3Place a folded kitchen towel in bottom of pressure cooker removable pot. Pour in 3 cups water. Place ramekins on towel taking care to keep them level. You may be able stack them all in the pressure cooker by building the ramekins up, pyramid style. If not, cook them in two batches.

4Lock lid in place. Select Rice setting.

5When cooking cycle is complete, allow pressure to release naturally. When all pressure has been released, remove lid, tilting it away from you to avoid steam. Carefully remove ramekins using tongs or potholders.

6Sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over tops of each ramekin. Place them on a heatproof surface and burn the tops to a nice amber color using a blowtorch. I do not find that caramelizing the sugar works well under the oven broiler. If you do not have a torch, make the Microwave Caramel recipe on page 55, or omit the caramelized sugar step.
