Creme Brulee- it's time to find out what this extravagant-sounding dessert really is!

The literal translation of creme brulee is "burnt cream". It is a cold custard with a crunchy, delicious layer of caramelized sugar on top. With origins from England, this dessert is an infallible way to impress guests, friends, and family alike, not to mention satisfying your own sweet tooth. There are four main ingredients found in creme brulee recipes: heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla bean (or in some recipes vanilla extract), and egg yolks. You will need ramekins to serve this decadent dessert in, and although it is not necessary, fresh fruit and mint are a great finish for a delicious creme brulee.

Give it a try, then enjoy!
