creme brulee
Caramelized custard dessert
Creme brulee is a French dessert of rich custard topped with a layer of hard caramelized sugar.
The contrast between the brittle, torched surface and the cool, creamy custard beneath defines the dish: She cracked through the caramelized top with her spoon.
Also spelled crème brûlée.
