To round out my French inspired dinner of course I had to have dessert! This brulee made for a very happy ending to a wonderful meal! I did serve it with a nice dollop of homemade whip cream, and it was totally enjoyed!

Super delicious and extremely decadent! I decided to tweak this a little based on other creme brulee recipes I have made. I halved the cream and cooked the custard on the stove first, so it would be really thick, the way we like it. I let it steep covered over the chocolate for 15 minutes after tempering/cooking on the stove. I used raw sugar for the brulee, since it works really well with my torch. This is fabulous and does not disappoint for that sinful Valentine's Day dessert!

I reserve 5 stars for "super exceptional" recipies... , made it for a dinner party with family and friends, I put it to the vote some said 3 and some said 4, so I gave you the higher rating as I thought it deserved 4 stars. The only negative comment from the 3 star voters was that they thought there was too much sugar on the top and that that layer could have been thinner (their personal preference, obviously)I too would have liked a little less... NO ONE disputed the choc brulee undernieth tho' !! they all liked that I'll be adding this to my recipe book, Thanks !!!
