What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
My sister makes a great creme brulee. So good.
I love the presentation in a cute ramenkin container with the top slightly charred from the mini torch. I could see her firing up the torch, then putting it over the surface of the custard with the sugar just waiting to be singed. It is cool to see the sugar bubble up from the heat and hear the slight crackling sound of the crust carmelizing and hardening.
Then, when the top is solid, I take a dessert spoon and break the hardened top. It is like breaking a thin surface of ice.
I press down past the broken chars of sweet caramel and dip into the rich creamy custard.
I lift it to my mouth and devour it morsel. As the rich cream hits my tongue, the smoothness of the sweet velvety cream coupled with a hard bit of caramel top is joyful.
She does a good job with the custard because it is not eggy tasting but smooth, like creamy fresh homemade vanilla ice cream but not vanilla ice cream but with the same richness.
This is one of my favorite desserts. Unfortunately, that sister of mine has not made it in years.
