Chocolate Creme Brulee' - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups half & half light cream
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    2/3 cup sugar
    6 large eggs (or egg substitute equal to 6 eggs)
    4 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 cup fresh raspberry (optional)
Preparation
    In a microwave safe bowl, whisk together the half&half and cocoa, this will be slightly lumpy.
    Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until the half&half is slightly warm.
    Whisk the mixture again to disolve lumps.
    Whisk the eggs and 2/3 cup sugar into the cocoa mix.
    Pour one cup of the mixture into each of ten 6 ounce custard cups (make sure they are broiler proof).
    Spoon 1 teaspoon of chocolate chips into the middle of each cup.
    Place the cups on a 17x12 baking sheet or a large baking pan that can hold all of them.
    Fill the sheet half full with warm water (or to a depth of 1 inch).
    Bake in a preheated 325F oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center doesn't giggle when gently shaken.
    Carefully move the cups to a cooling rack and let them rest for 15 minutes.
    Then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to 2 days before serving.
    When ready to serve, preheat the broiler.
    Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar over each serving.
    Put the cups on a broiler-safe pan.
    Broil with the tops of the cups 2 inches from the heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until the sugar is caramelized.
    Careful not to burn!
    To serve, garnish with raspberries and enjoy!
