Once it's done, pour it back into the bowl and continue whisking for another 2-3 minutes, by hand. You don't wanna leave it in the pot as it might cook the eggs even more.

Pour into your prepared ramekin and place them into a pan with high sides.  We're going to bake this in a water bath so fill the pan half way with water. Then bake it for 17-22 minutes.

To know that they're baked, they would be custard like but still wobbly in the centre. It sets as it cools. Once they're baked, chill them for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.

When you're ready to serve them, put a thin layer of sugar (I always use brown sugar) and brûlée it!

I used a torch which is ideal, but since many people wouldn't have one, you could put it under your broiler till the sugar has melted and a crust has formed.

Sorry for the horrible quality pictures. I was making this in a real rush, but I still wanted to make a guide. So, yeah......

Step 12 of 12
When you break through the crust and drag your spoon down against the ramekin, the only feeling you feel is serenity & joy. And when the spoon enters your mouth, I need a paper and a pencil for that.

Cole, the outcome of the creme brûlée usually is affected by two things; tempering of the eggs and the baking. Make sure you temper the eggs properly and the baking has to be just right. If its curdy, temper your eggs less. Its pure liquid, bake it longer. I really hope you get the result you want the next time you bake! Sorry it didn't turn out good enough :(
