Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to the grill setting at 500°F (260°C) and prepare a baking dish with hot water for a water bath.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, brown sugar, and rum until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly into four ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake the filled ramekins in the water bath for 30 to 35 minutes, until set at the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
Let the ramekins cool for 30 minutes at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over each custard and caramelize the sugar using a kitchen torch until golden brown.
Allow the caramelized tops to cool briefly before serving your Caribbean Creme Brûlée.
