Ingredients
6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, finely broken
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups whole milk
2 tablespoons sugar
8 golden egg yolks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Melt the chocolate with ½ cup of cream over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Heat the milk, remaining cream, and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly add the warm milk mixture, stirring constantly.
Strain the mixture into the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
Pour into 6 ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water, reaching halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.
Cool in an ice bath if firm, then cover and refrigerate.
Enjoy within a few hours for the best texture, though they will keep for several days.
