Bake in Water Bath
Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Cool and Chill
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Caramelize the Sugar
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of raw sugar on top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and turns golden brown. Allow it to cool and harden.
