We had Mr. Kim’s mom over for dinner Friday night.  Dessert was caramel apple crème brûlée:

The top looks burnt, but it wasn’t.  These were definitely overcooked.  You can see from the video that they didn’t have that soft, velvety custard like they should have:

 

I was always taught that if your custard base has little bubbles in it like yours appeared to, it was because the heat was too high, or your bain marie water didn't come up high enough.

They were made in 10 oz. ramekins and are just too large.  I need to look at 6 and 8 oz. ones and see which size is better.

 

Not too large for me!  :)
