Mixing the Base

Caramelizing the Sugar

When you're ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each crème brûlée. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden crust. Don't worry if you don't have a torch, you can also place the ramekins under a broiler for a few minutes, but keep a close eye on them!
