4 lrg. egg yolks at room temperature
2 c. whipping cream
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract or flavoring
4 oz. white chocolate, chopped into sm. pieces

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a med. bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar until smooth. In 2-qt. saucepan, bring whipping cream to a simmer over med.-high heat. Add white chocolate to simmering whipping cream. Turn off heat and whisk until chocolate is melted. Add the cream mixture to egg yolk mixture one Tbsp. at a time, whisking continuously to prevent eggs from scrambling. Whisk until smooth. Add vanilla extract or flavoring. Pour into one 9-in. round baking pan. Place in a 13 x 9-in. baking pan or broiler pan. Add enough water so the crème brûlée dish sits in 1 to 1 1/2 in.es of water. Bake until set, about 45 mins..

Serve warm, at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight. For a crunchy surface on top, sprinkle with 3 Tbsp. of sugar, and place under a broiler until caramelized.
