Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/3 cup white sugar until smooth.

  3. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Add the white chocolate and remove from heat. Whisk until the chocolate is melted.

  4. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of the cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the egg yolks, whisking until the custard is thick and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and coffee liqueur.

  5. Pour the custard into four 6-ounce ramekins and arrange them in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Add enough warm water to the baking pan to come 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the ramekins.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the custard is set. Allow it to cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 2 hours, until chilled.

  7. Adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.

  8. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of white
