Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a bit, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

Prepare the Chantilly Cream
While the custards chill, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar to taste and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Caramelize the Top
Once the crème brûlée is chilled, sprinkle a thin layer of powdered sugar on top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy top. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
