No-Bake Espresso Crème brûlées
6 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons instant-espresso powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Coarse salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup raw sugar
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Arrange four 4 1/2 inch Crème brûlée dishes (one inch deep) on a baking sheet. Freeze.
Meanwhile, whisk together yolks, espresso, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until sugar has almost dissolved. Bring cream and milk to a boil in a saucepan; gradually whisk about half the yolk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan; whisk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until mixture is thick and reaches 175° on an instant read thermometer, about six minutes; pour over chocolate, and whisk until chocolate has melted and is smooth. Divide among molds, and freeze until firm not frozen, about 45-55 minutes.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon raw sugar onto each custard; shake off excess.
Caramelize tops using a hand-held kitchen torch.

Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table
