• Bake 25-30 minutes, until barely set.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven and remove the ramekins from the water bath with a dish towel.
• Refrigerate immediately, covering the ramekins with plastic wrap after slightly, at least 2 hours or even overnight.
• Just before serving, garnish each custard with a dollop of whipped cream and walnut halves and drizzle with a teaspoon of the remaining maple syrup.
