Crème Brulee and Cherry Chocolate Cake

Crème Brulee
2 C. heavy Cream (whipping Cream)
4 Tb. Sugar
4 large Egg Yolks
1 tsp. Vanilla

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Start boiling water.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream and sugar, cook and stir occasionally until small bubbles appear around edge. Do not boil. (Takes about 5-6 minutes.) Remove from heat. In a bowl, beat egg yolks and vanilla until smooth and light. Gradually pour hot cream mixture into egg yolks, stirring until well blended.

Place 4 ramekins, or small custard cups into a shallow baking pan. Divide and pour custard mixture into containers. Place on middle shelf of pre-heated oven and fill baking pan with boiling water until half-way up sides of cups. Bake for 45 minutes, or until custard is set. Carefully remove cups and chill for 2-3 hours.

Before serving, sift ¾ c. of sugar, white or brown, over surface of custard. Place under broiler, or use cooking torch until sugar melts and is golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
