Crème brûlée is a popular classic dessert that can be found at the table of very good restaurants and can also be made at home with few ingredients.
This French dessert par excellence is very similar to Spanish Catalan cream and it is difficult to know its true origin. It was popularized in the 80s in restaurants until it became a real must in gastronomy.
The main characteristic of this cream comes from the sugar crust that is formed on the surface with a blowtorch. However, this accessory is not essential and you can replace it with 1 to 3 minutes under the oven grill if you don't have one. The crème brûlée can be eaten cold or warm, depending on your preferences.
