My favorite part is caramelizing the sugar on top. Thanks for sharing, will definitely give this recipe a shoutout on my Instagram page. Jane @ Newport Butane NewportButane.com

Excellent flavor! I used Mexican vanilla and only white sugar on top, as we've experimented with brown sugar mixtures in the past and prefer the white only, but the whole family really enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for posting, Momaphet! Made & enjoyed for Photo Forum's National Dessert Month. :)

Definitely the best Créme Brulee! Here in HI, we have a Kinkaids restaurant (same family of restaurants as Scotts Seafood) ... I got this recipe from them on a 3x5 card about 25 years ago and misplaced it -- mahalo for posting!

The taste is wonderful but maybe the cream is too sweet. I think I would try it with less sugar in the cream. At 350 F, after 25 minutes the tops of the cream were already golden. So I had to turn down the heat to 300 F. I didn't want them to burn already. Thanks Momaphet for posting this recipe :) Made for Please Review my REcipe.
