I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my creme brulee didn't turn out very well. It was too runny and the sugar crust was too hard.

I had some trouble getting the sugar to caramelize, but I eventually got it. The creme brulee was worth the effort!

The creme brulee was a bit runny, but the flavor was still good.

This creme brulee was a bit too tart for my taste, but my friends loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less pomegranate next time.
