Creme Brulee

[goathogan]

Ok someone enlighten me! On almost every dessert menu at WDW is some sort of Creme Brulee. What is the deal with this stuff? I tried the banana carmel at Kona's last week and it was only okay, nothing I would ever get again. What am I missing?

How is this dessert made? Is it difficult to make?

Creme brulee is basically a thick,rich, slightly sweetened, French custard, usually vanilla flavored, mostly cream, sugar and eggs that is baked in individual dishes in the oven usually in a bain marie so it doesn't overbake and remains very very creamy rather than firm. It is then sprinkled with sugar and either broiled or blowtorched to caramelized the sugar into a thin, hard, crunchy caramel shell. It can be awesome or not so good, depending on the place. Most Disney restaurants have a creme brulee- chocolate, coffee, plain vanilla, banana, even Irish Cream creme brulee at Rose and Crown.
Sorry you didn't like yours. I hope you'll try it again and have a better experience. I LOVE creme brulee! Then again, I can't think of a single dessert I DON'T like- carrot cake, ice cream, brownies, cheesecake, fruit salad, pretty much like it all. lol.
Aloha!

Okay -- when I go to Victoria and Albert's -- I get the choc. suffle.

However, my partner is a creme brulee fan/conosieur (sp?). I might say that if you are not into puddings/custards - brulee may never be your thing. But a good brulee is like the most incredible custard type dessert you've ever had. The creme brulee at V&A is sooo smooooth and creamy -- and then you add on top a perfectly carmalized sugar topping --- you lightly tap the top to crunch through to the creamy bottom -- and the crunchy top juxtaposed by the creamy custardy bottom --- can be very rich and basically incredibly elegant.

So -- there you go. And like I said -- I'm not even the brulee fan in my home.

I had the plain vanilla 2 years ago at the F&W Fest-- I had been dying to try it after I read so much about it here (Never had it before that). I didn't like it and threw it out. Last year- they had chocolate in the France booth. So, I try again (not sure why when I didn't like it the first time). This time I LOVED it. Can't wait to try it again.

My DH had never tried creme brulee until our trip 3 years ago. Now he can not wait until our trip this Dec.

Last time we had vanilla, coconut, banana and I do not remember what else.

I told him this trip he needed to eat his way around the world with creme brulee unstead of drinking his way around the world with beer.
