Caramel Creme Brulee image

This recipe comes out perfect every time and it's always a crowd-pleaser! A torch works best to get the sugar caramelized while keeping the rest of the custard cool. You may want to use more sugar to create a thicker, more even crust on top. -Jenna Fleming, Lowville, New York

This crème brûlée was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The custard was smooth and creamy, and the caramel topping was nice and crisp.
