Crème brûlée
Crème brûlée is one of the most famous desserts known world-wide. You can taste it everywhere around the world. Crème brûlée means for ‘burnt cream’ in French. It usually has two layers: the bottom layer is a sweet custard cream and the top layer is caramel burnt using a torch. I am sure that many people who like to eat sweets will enjoy this dessert. It can be found easily in many restaurants world-wide. Usually, they are found in restaurants that serve French or European food. What I enjoy most when eating Crème brûlée is cracking the top caramel part with my little dessert spoon. A scoop of the Crème brûlée, a little bit of the top caramel with the bottom custard, will attract everyone to try it after their meal. Crème brûlée goes very well with coffee, and in fact, I love to eat them with a cup of Americano. The best Crème brûlée I had was in a buffet in Seoul, Korea. My family goes to the buffet once or twice every month and my final dish is always a cup of Crème brûlée and a cup of coffee. Crème brûlées are usually served in small cups or dishes. One cup is enough to give a finale to the wonderful dinner I just had. There are many variations to Crème brûlées. The base custard is usually made with vanilla, but there are places that alter the vanilla to lemon, orange, rosemary, chocolate, coffee, fruits, and liqueurs. My favorite is the classic Crème brûlée, the vanilla base custard plus the butane torch burnt caramel. When a scoop goes into my mouth, the feeling of the soft custard and the melting of the caramel form such good combinations that it gives, is almost impossible to explain the sensation. The fastest way to learn about this feeling is to actually eat them.
