We have such a lovely giveaway and recipe for you today. We are giving away a GORGEOUS Arvo watch and we are sharing a decadent chocolate creme brûlée that is perfect for your special holiday dinner. Let me jab about this dessert for a bit – and then I’ll get back to the giveaway.
Creme Brûlée is my FAVORITE favorite favorite dessert. But I understand that there are some out there that really prefer a chocolate dessert. I have the perfect solution – chocolate creme brûlée. My husband and I first discovered this combo at a local restaurant – and honestly – I was unimpressed. It tasted like jello pudding with a sugar crust. I new I could do better. So I pulled out my vanilla creme brûlée recipe and made a few adjustments and this rich chocolate piece of heaven was born.
This is just my opinion – but if you wanted to show a special someone how much you care about them this holiday season…why not present them with chocolate creme brûlée followed by a present of an Arvo watch? You can’t get more joy filled than this combo!

If you wanted to show a special someone how much you care about them this holiday season...why not present them with chocolate creme brûlée!
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 6 ounces semi sweet chocolate chopped
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar for topping
- berries and chocolate shavings for garnish
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large sauce pan heat sugar, chocolate, and cocoa powder and bring to just a boil. Stir continuously so that chocolate incorporates into the cream.
- Remove from heat and let cook.
- Mean while in a stand mixer, using the whist attachment whisk eggs and sugar until they are pale yellow.
- with the whisk still moving slowly add the chocolate cream mixture. If you add it too fast it will cook the eggs, so add about 1/4 cup at a time whisking in-between each addition.
- Once incorporated divide between ramekins, so half pint mason jars. Place in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until the water reaches half way up the sides of the jars.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cook for 1 hour.
- Transfer to the fridge and chill for 2 hours.
- Sprinkle sugar on the top of each and caramelize the sugar one of two ways. The first is to use a kitchen torch and in a circular motion melt sugar until it is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes. The second is to use your oven broiler. Broil on high for 8-10 minutes until sugar bubbles. Let cool for 15 minutes.
