Crème Brûlée

Crème brûlée is a dessert featuring a rich custard base crowned with a layer of hardened caramelized sugar. This dish, also known as burnt cream, is typically served slightly chilled, with the caramel topping providing a contrast to the cool center of the custard. While often flavored with vanilla in French cuisine, the custard can incorporate other flavorings and is sometimes garnished with fruit.
