March 03, 2004 chocolate creme bruleeI tried this on valentine's day. I started out with the chocolate pots de creme recipe from New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant, but modified it quite a bit. For custards I typically start out using a recipe because if I try to make up the egg-to-cream ratio I usually mess up.
The original recipe:
2 cups heavy cream or half and half.
8 ounces sweet chocolate
6 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
What I did:
I definitely use the heavy cream, because fat tastes good. Also, I went with semi-sweet chocolate instead.
Do the general making-custard thing: heat up the cream and chocolate in a double boiler. Once it's all melted, pour that gradually into the beaten egg yolks, then pour it back into the double boiler until it sticks to the spoon. It's not going to really solidify until you refrigerate it.
Meanwhile, I soaked some dried cherries in port. In order to get them to really soak up the liquid, I put it on the stove on really low heat. I cut them up into really little pieces, since I don't really want large chewy chunks in my creme brulee, and added that stuff to the custard.
Then I refrigerated it in little ramekins for a couple hours. Put some white sugar on top, melt that shit with a culinary torch. (Or broil, if you don't have a culinary torch. Or call me and ask to borrow my culinary torch.) Whip up some whipped cream, and throw that on top. But if it's still hot the whipped cream will melt, which is kind of gross.
I was pretty happy with the combination of port, cherry, and not-too-sweet chocolate flavors... and the burnt sugar.

When serotonin is released from the sending nerve cell, some of it is reabsorbed by an uptake pump.
