Creme Brulee

Among my favorite activities are baking, hanging out with friends, and trying new things, so experimenting with creme brulee as a girls' night in was a fabulous combination.  We made three different recipes, all from this book: pumpkin, white chocolate raspberry, and milk chocolate caramel.  All of them turned out delicious, despite an untimely malfunction of the creme brulee torch.  Fortunately we deigned to put them in the broiler, and found that, while perhaps less fun that torching the creme by hand, the oven still makes them tasty and crisped on top.
