- <span style="font-weight: 400;">**Strain the mixture** through the strainer into a clean bowl.</span>
- <span style="font-weight: 400;">**Fill the ramekins** with the mixture.</span>

- <span style="font-weight: 400;">**Cool the ramekins** in the fridge for at least **4 hours**.</span>
- <span style="font-weight: 400;">Remove the ramekins from the fridge, add a spoon of sugar to each of them. Use the torch to **caremelize the sugar**.</span>
