I like valhrona cocoa the best, it has a dark color and intense flavor. It's expensive but worth it. I'm attempting to post the recipe now.

Oreo These are the classic american cookie to the tenth degree. The cookie is delicate and a bit crumbly but the flavor is fantastic. The cookie is worth mastering requiring a delicate hand .

This is a great recipe that is better then any other oreo i have tried. The cookie dough is very short and crumbly so piping the filling requires a delicate touch. Good luck.

A couple of thoughts... I make the custard base the day before I bake off the brulees. This gives the proteins time to absorb the excess water and ensures a creamy texture. I strain right after tempering, cool in an ice bath then into the fridge till the next day. I think this time helps with the air bubbles as well. I place a side towel/ napkin on the sheet tray with the ramekins on top. This keeps the ramekins from sliding when you pour the water off. I place a second sheet tray, inverted, on top of the ramekin filled sheet tray. This works well for me but I have also heard the plastic wrap idea works great. Good luck.
