5 large Egg yolks
1/2 cup Sugar
2 cups Whipping cream
3 ounces White imported chocolate -- finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 300F. Whisk egg yolks and 1/4
cup sugar in medium bowl. Bring cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to simmer in
heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Gradually add chopped
chocolate to cream mixture and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk hot

sugar over each custard. Broil until sugar caramelizes, watching carefully,
about 2 minutes. Serve hot, or refrigerate up to 1 hour and serve cold.
