4 oz Bittersweet chocolate;

1 3/4 c Heavy cream
6 lg Egg yolks

1/4 c Packed light brown sugar

Set oven @ 325ºF/160ºC.

Put chocolate in a small metal bowl. In a heavy saucepan

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.
