On a train in France, the dining car served pre-packaged creme brulee made by Bonne Mamman, a fine quality preserves company.

The custard came without a torched topping, but with a little packet of brown sugar instead. You sprinkle the sugar on top, let it settle in, and it will sort of carmelize after a minute.

It's not exactly the same experience, but we were pleasantly surprised. It helped that the custard was excellent. Give it a shot!
