Creme Brulee


Creme Brulee Only 4 Ingredients

Creme Brulee is a French dessert and is one of the most sophisticated ones. It is served in most restaurants and is just a delight to be consumed. It is just a wow dish , the yummy, velvety, smooth custard that can only be reached by cracking the top crispy caramelised sugar layer.

That cracking sound just fills my mouth with, the textural difference between the top and bottom is what makes this dessert stands out. However, the classic version is plain vanilla so you can enjoy the authentic dessert.

You can find it topped with fruits - like strawberries or mango so the acidity cuts through the creaminess and gives you a Flavourful punch to your taste buds.

Many beginner bakers are shocked to learn that it is quite a simple dessert, not at all fancy like the name. But this does not mean that you can take it for granted, you do need a careful eye and a few basic skills to get through.
