What is creme brulee?

Crème brûlée, also known as burnt cream, Trinity cream, or crema Catalana, is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar.

This Dark Chocolate Creme Brulee is an Olympic Gold Medalist in the culinary dessert world according to Big Daddy. For someone who doesn’t like many desserts, he flips over this dessert. It’s rich and creamy yet, amazingly, light as well. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. And it’s oh-so-elegant for the fanciest dinner party.
