• To achieve a smooth custard, avoid overmixing the egg mixture.
• For the best caramelized sugar topping, use a kitchen torch for precise control.

Storage and Serving

• Peach Creme Brulee is best served chilled.
• Leftover custards can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Do not caramelize the sugar topping until just before serving to maintain its crispness.
