Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- 5
Chill
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.

Caramelize the Sugar
Once chilled, pour the mixture into individual ramekins. Sprinkle a thin layer of additional sugar on top of each ramekin. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, place under a broiler for a few minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
