half way up the ramekins to make a water bath.  Bake for 45-60 minutes until firm.
  • Remove
    from oven and allow to cool.  Sprinkle the top with sugar and carmelize with a kitchen
    torch.  Garnish with raspberries or strawberries.
  • Tip: Brown sugar may be

    substituted for the granulated sugar, but you may want to increase the amount to 1 tablespoon per
    serving.
