    Categories: Desserts, Chocolate, Booze, Citrus
    Yield: 8 Servings

    4 oz Bittersweet chocolate;
    - chopped
    1 3/4 c Heavy cream
    6 lg Egg yolks
    1 Whole large egg
    1/2 c Granulated sugar
    1 3/4 c Milk
    2 tb Grand Marnier
    1 ts Orange zest
    1/4 c Packed light brown sugar
    - sugar

    Set oven @ 325ºF/160ºC.

    Put chocolate in a small metal bowl. In a heavy saucepan
    heat 1/2 cup cream over moderately high heat until it
    just comes to a boil and pour over chocolate. Let
    chocolate stand until softened and whisk mixture until
    smooth.

    In a bowl whisk together yolks, whole egg, & granulated
    sugar and whisk in chocolate mixture. In pan heat
    remaining 1 1/4 cups cream and milk until mixture just
    comes to a boil.Add milk mixture to egg mixture in a
    stream, whisking, and whisk in Grand Marnier.

    Divide custard among eight 1/2-cup flameproof ramekins
    (measuring 3 1/4" in diameter across the top) set in
    a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach
    halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake custards in middle of
    oven until they are just set.

    Set broiler rack so that custards will be 2" to 3" from
    heat and preheat broiler. Sift brown sugar evenly
    over custards and broil custards until sugar is melted
    and caramelized, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, raw
    sugar may be sprinkled over custards and caramelized
    with a blowtorch.) Chill custards 20 minutes.
