The dessert that makes any dinner feel like an occasion, this classic pairs a silky vanilla custard with a crackling caramelized sugar top. Baked gently in a water bath until just set, then chilled until cool and firm, each ramekin delivers that magical contrast of smooth cream beneath a crisp, torched crust. Tap through the glassy topping with your spoon and understand why it never goes out of style.
