Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a baking dish large enough to hold 4 ramekins, and fill it with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and chopped Godiva dark chocolate. Heat gently, stirring continuously, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the warm chocolate cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
Divide the custard mixture evenly among the 4 ramekins. Place the ramekins in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not touching. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the surface of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it is melted and golden brown. Let the sugar topping cool for 1-2 minutes to harden before serving.
Enjoy your decadent Godiva Chocolate Creme Brulee!
