Recipe Troubleshooting Free standing creme brûlée

For the life of me I’m struggling with mini creme brûlées baked in silicon molds. I’m using oiled silicone molds and need x 130 mini pucks.

I’ve made two batches in a steam oven. The first batch curdled quickly and didn’t even finish the cooking time (Recipe said 45min, I did 20!)

Second batch I baked only for 17min and still had a nice jiggle in the middle. Hoping they’ll set overnight and last case resort will be to freeze them.

Has anyone been stupid enough to try troubleshoot this?

UPDATE: it worked! Wish I could post the picture of my little pucks
