Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be careful not to overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar under a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
- Let the creme brulees cool completely before refrigerating. This will help them set properly.
