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
1
Heat 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.
2
Whisk in remaining ingredients. Divide between 6 ramekins.
3
Place 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.
4
Lock lid in place. Select Rice setting.
5
When 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.
6
Sprinkle 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.
