Bake the Brûlée
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the mixture into ramekins (about 6) and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.

Cool and Chill
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature. Once cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Caramelize the Top
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top of each chilled crème brûlée. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil them in the oven for a couple of minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Serve
Let the caramelized sugar cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Nutella crème brûlée!
