Crème Brûlée
France · Europe
- Short description
- A rich custard served in a ramekin, finished with a thin caramelized sugar shell that cracks under a spoon.
- Ingredients
- Cream, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and a caramelized sugar crust form a chilled custard dessert.
- Cultural note
- Its history is layered: early printed recipes and similar burnt-custard traditions make a single-origin claim too tidy.
- Common misconception
- The crackly top matters; without it, the dessert is closer to plain custard.
