   3. Remove from heat and carefully add the cherry whiskey. Swirl pan to combine. The caramel will bubble a lot, and may seize slightly. Don't worry!

   4. Divide caramel between 3 four-ounce ramekins. Again, the caramel may seem a too thick, but, trust me, it will come out fine.

   6. Divide the custard evenly and pour over the caramel in each ramekin.

   8. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350u00b0F or until a knife inserted in to the middle of the custard comes out clean. Make sure that your water bath does not dry out.

   9. Cool completely. Run a clean knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert on to a plate. The liquid caramel should run down the sides of the caramel and pool in the plate.
