Best Answer

Because creme brûlée needs slow cooking, so the egg yolks on the creme brûlée dont get overcooked, bain marie guarantees that the temperature around the ramekins doesn't raise above 100C, because that's the temperature when water boils, water never gets its temperature above that level. Also, bain marie guarantees an even temperature which is desirable for such a delicate dessert.
