Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 2/3 cups whole milk
  • 2 2/3 cups heavy cream
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (3/4 cup)
  • 2 ounces brandy, or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or paste

Directions

In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk in milk, cream, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil, then cook 1 minute more. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Add chocolate and brandy, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Divide among 8 to 10 small ramekins or heatproof bowls. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days. (If making ahead, do not cover until cold, to prevent condensation.)

Sprinkle tops generously with sugar, tilting ramekins to evenly distribute. Slowly wave a kitchen torch approximately 2 inches above surface of each custard until sugar bubbles, turns amber, and forms a hard crust; serve.
