Recipe View Serve immediately and enjoy the contrasting textures of the crisp, caramelized top and the smooth, rich custard.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using dark chocolate chips or adding a pinch of espresso powder to the cream mixture.
Be very careful when broiling! The sugar can burn quickly. Keep a close eye on the crème brûlées and remove them from the oven as soon as the tops are caramelized.
If you don't have a broiler, you can use a kitchen torch to brûlée the tops.
