• Pour cream mixture into the baking dishes. Pour boiling water into the baking dish to about halfway up the small baking dishes.
• Carefully place the pan in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the centers barely move. You may have to adjust the baking time, depending on the size/depth of the baking dishes.
• Cool the crème brûlée, then chill for about 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
• Sprinkle each crème brûlée with 2 to 3 teaspoons of sugar.
• Carefully torch to melt the sugar, moving and taking care not to burn. Or, place under the broiler, turning and watching very closely, until sugar turns a darker brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. A cooking torch is good to have if you make this often. You have much more control on melting the sugar, which forms the famous crust.
• Top each crème brûlée with a sprig of mint and sliced toasted almonds if desired.
