Tips:
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar on the top of the crème brûlée in the oven. Just preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the individual ramekins on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top of each ramekin and then place the baking sheet in the oven.

- To make the crème brûlée ahead of time, you can prepare it up to 3 days in advance. Simply cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve, remove the crème brûlée from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before caramelizing the sugar.
