In a small saucepan, heat the cream and milk until just beginning to simmer. Pour over the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.

Pour into 2\u00bd-inch (6 cm) ramekins, filling about 80% full (roughly 70 ml each).

A perfectly brittle caramel layer that cracks beautifully under your spoon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 data-start=\"2374\" data-end=\"2388\"><strong data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2386\">Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2660\">\n<li data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2505\">\n<p data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2505\">If you\u2019re making these ahead, keep them covered with foil in the fridge and br\u00fbl\u00e9e the tops just before serving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2506\" data-end=\"2660\">\n<p data-start=\"2508\" data-end=\"2660\">A kitchen torch gives the best results, but if you don\u2019t have one, skip the caramel step\u2014the dessert is still creamy, smooth, and decadent on its own.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some desserts are so simple, they almost feel like magic\u2014this is one of them.
