Chocolate Rum Creme Brulee

0 · Jan 29, 2019 · 2 Comments

Chocolate Rum Creme Brulee

We topped our Chocolate Rum Creme Brulee with Toblerone bits to help break through the richness of the dessert and add a little more crunch to every bite.

Our luscious, rich, chocolately creme brulee is enhanced with a wee bit of instant espresso and spiced rum, yet still remains creamy with its caramelized sugar topping. Full of flavour we’ve found a little goes a long way.

Breaking through the brulee and eating it with the chocolate is a crunchy affair but one we adore. So much so in fact we crushed up some leftover Christmas Toblerone for the top adding even more crunchy goodness to every bite. It was clearly the right thing to do and we are certain any kind of chopped chocolate bar would be equally delicious.

What is Creme Brulee?

If creme brulee is a dessert you only hear about when you go out for dinner, we will make it simple for you. Creme Brulee, also known as burnt cream or Trinity cream, is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. Or as I tell my son, a thick pudding with a candy coating.

We’ve been fortunate to try several varieties of creme brulee offering up some very unique flavour combinations and toppings leading us to be inspired in our creations. Do not worry about the rum flavour in this dessert if you want to the kids to have some. It is there only in the background like the coffee.

For this recipe you will need ramekins, small canning jars or creme brulee dishes. We were able to make 8 in small canning jars.

Chocolate Rum Creme Brulee
Author: Wanda Baker
Serves: 8
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups whipping cream
  • 8 oz dark chocolate
  • ½ tsp instant coffee or espresso
  • 2 tbsp rum
  • 6 egg yolks
  • ½ cup sugar + ½ cup for the topping
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup chopped Toberlone
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  2. In a saucepan over medium high heat add your cream and heat until steaming (not boiling)
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in dark chocolate.
  4. Once chocolate is combined, stir in instant coffee and rum.
  5. In a bowl whisk together your egg yolks with your sugar. Mix well. Now you need to temper your eggs. Pour in ¼ cup of the hot cream and mix well. Then pour in another ½ cup of the hot cream, mixing well again. At this point your eggs should be tempered and you can slowly pour the rest of the cream in. Whisk and add vanilla. Skim off foam with a spoon.
  6. Pour egg custard into ramekins. Place in a large casserole pan.
  7. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of ramekins.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes and remove from oven.
  9. Let sit in water bath for 15 minutes on board on counter.
  10. Remove from water bath. The custard will still wiggle a little in the middle, this is completely fine. Let cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 6 hours.
  11. To serve, sprinkle with sugar and quickly caramelize using a small culinary torch or crème brulée iron.
  12. Top with chopped Toberlone and serve immediately.

  • Surprise surprise we fondued again this weekend. This time a marinated sesame chicken in broth + a cheese fondue made with a porter (beer). Lots of great flavour happening and too much chicken!
.
We finished with a small bowl of chicken soup using the leftover broth with some vermicelli noodles and sliced green scallions I had on stand by. Another amazing fondue is in the books!

  • This Cherry Kiss Hot Chocolate is from @eatdrinkblock and available for #YYCHotChocolateFest!
.
In the first photo the incredibly tasty booze soaked cherries fell in to the hot tub aka hot chocolate. The second photo shows the cherries pre-hot tub.
.
The hot chocolate is missing the marshmallow as they apparently ran out of marshmallows. Hopefully this means they are selling lots of hot cocoa for @yychotchocolatefest!
.
Try this beverage with or without alcohol and partial proceeds go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

  • Cooking from @donna.hay's #moderncooking #cookbook this month.
.
Made these Burnt Butter and Salted Maple Sticky Buns for the #rainydaybitescookbookclub challenge. Admittedly I took the photo before adding the salt (whoops)! The dough is easy to work with and I let both rises go longer than advised.
.
The glaze for these buns goes both on the bottom and again poured over the buns when they come out of the oven hot. My family loved them and ate most of them as they were a little on the sweet side for me.
.
Lots joining in on this challenge today. Follow the hashtag, #rainydaybitescookbookclub to see everyone's photos for todays challenge!

  • -28 with the wind chill is no deterrent when it comes to trying hot chocolate during @yychotchocolatefest. This is the Frozen Hot Chocolate Gelato from @fiascogelato and it is so delicious that you completely forget its ahem frozen and -28 out side.
.
It's available until February 28th but do check their opening hours before you go as they are closed Sundays.
