If you know me you know how much I love Crème Brûlée.  Give me that and Pie, and I could live a happy life! Add in a vegetable and I will have a balanced meal!

I was excited to receive a challenge from TruMoo milk to come up with a recipe of my own using their milk! We don’t buy chocolate milk a lot, but when we do we love TruMoo because it is pure milk, tastes great, doesn’t have HFCS and contains no artificial growth hormones.  Woot, Woot!
I came up with this yummy recipe because I love Crème Brûlée so much, I thought I would try to make it with TruMoo’s Chocolate Whole Milk, and make it Chocolate Crème Brûlée! Chocolate, and  Crème Brûlée, what could be better?
It was super easy to make and tastes delicious!  All you have to do is mix all these ingredients together.
Fill your remkins along with filling the glass pan half way full of water and bake for 45 minutes on 325ª
And Whala! It’s that easy!
I did half chocolate, half heavy cream, so it wasn’t as chocolatey as I wanted it, but it still tasted amazing.  I was worried that by not adding cream it wouldn’t ever thicken, but I read that for regular  Crème Brûlée you can use anything from 2% to heavy cream.  The less thick the longer it might take to cook, but it will work! So next time I make this I am using all TruMoo whole chocolate milk!
Chocolate Crème Brûlée
{Printable Version Here} 
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Crem
1 Cup Chocolate Milk {Whole}or 2 Cups Chocolate Milk {Whole}
5 Egg Yolks
1 T Vanilla
1/2 Cup Sugar
Preheat Oven to 325º
(This make 5-6 7oz ramekins full.  I always like to double the recipe to use all the cream and feed my whole family)
Put 2 cups cream in large bowl.  In smaller bowl crack your egg yolks and mix until smooth.  Pour Egg Yolks into cream.  Add sugar and vanilla and Walla! So easy.
Place 6 small (or 3 larger or 1 very big) Ramekins in baking pan. {This is the only tricky part that I think people are scared of, but it is so easy.}
Fill Ramekin a quarter of the way full and put in baking pan!
Fill Casserole dish half way up the Ramekins with hot water.  Bake in oven on 275 degrees for 40 mins.  Keep checking after that every 10 mins until a knife comes out clean.
Cool on counter for 15 mins, and then in fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight.
When ready to eat, pull them out of the fridge, cover with sugar (I used brown sugar, but I usually use white) Torch them with a Crème Brûlée Chef’s Culinary Torch.  This Cameralizes the sugar and makes it melt and then harden.  If you don’t have a torch, guess what?  You can put it in the oven on Broil for a couple of minutes.  It is so easy and so delicious.  I will say I like white sugar on top instead of brown.  The brown when torched didn’t look as pretty and tasted different, but both are really good!
