1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2
Melt the White Chocolate
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and white chocolate chips. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3
Whisk the Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
4
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Strain the Mixture
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps.
6
Prepare Ramekins
Place six ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour the crème brulée mixture evenly into the ramekins.
7
Bake in Water Bath
Boil water and carefully pour it into the baking dish around the ramekins until it reaches halfway up the sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.
8
Cool the Crème Brulée
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

9
Caramelize the Sugar
When ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each chilled crème brulée. Using a kitchen torch, carefully melt the sugar until it forms a crispy, caramelized layer. If you don't have a torch, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
10
Serve
Allow the crème brulée to cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your delicious white chocolate crème brulée!
