These custards are surprisingly simple yet rich and silky, with that unique white chocolate flavor. The recipe balances sweetness with a creamy smoothness, thanks to the water bath and the chocolate to cream and milk ratio.
They can be made ahead, and though they're an everyday dessert, they are sophisticated enough for a dinner party, depending on how you serve them.
