Heat water in kettle (not boiling)
Place 6 ramekins on thin tea towel in roasting pan
Pour crème mixture evenly into ramekins
CAREFULLY add hot water to the pan without spilling onto the ramekins
Bake until edges are set and center barely wobbles; approximately 45-50 minutes
Gently remove from oven; avoid spilling water onto ramekins
Using a flexible spatula, remove each ramekin and set on wire rack to cool
Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight
