Five crackly-topped custards for an elegant July 27 dessert tasting.
Bake the custards ahead, then offer classic vanilla beside espresso-cardamom, lemon-blueberry, chocolate-orange, and coconut-mango variations.
Keep every ramekin cold and dry; torch the sugar shortly before serving so guests hear that signature crack at the summer dinner table.
