Once the brûlées are cold, sprinkle a thin, even layer of caster sugar over the top of each. Place them under the very hot grill (or use a blowtorch) until the sugar caramelizes into a deep golden, crackling crust. You might need to repeat this process several times, adding a little more sugar each time, to get a sturdy, glass-like topping.
Let the caramelized brûlées cool for a few minutes before serving. They're best served within 2 hours of caramelizing, while the topping is still crisp.
