Creme Brûlée

I learned how to make creme brûlée! It was simple, took few ingredients, and was the best thing I've ever felt on my sore throat. I have to make some more!

4 large egg yolks (at room temperature)
1 bar Ghiradelli White Chocolate Bar (chopped into small pieces)
1/3 Cup plus 4 tsp. Sugar
2 Cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp, vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Whisk egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar together until smooth. Bring whipping cream to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add white chocolate to simmering whipping cream, turn off heat, and then whisk until melted. Slowly add the chocolate mixture to egg mixture, whisking continuously until smooth. Whisk in vanilla. Pour into four ramekins. Place cups in 9"x13" baking pan or broiler pan. Add enough water so the ramekins sit in 1-1 1/2" water. Bake until set, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle each cup with 1 tsp of sugar and broil until caramelized. Let sit till mostly cool and then eat!

If you can find cheaper White Chocolate go ahead and try it. I didn't have ramekins so I just made them in muffin pans sitting in a larger pan. It was so simple! And turned out great!
