What exactly is Creme Brulee?

[JadenLayne]

I've never had it. What exactly is it? What is the consistency like? I'm tempted to try some.

cream brulee is a rich cream type of custard. It had a caramelized top. Rich and sweet.

I like it, but the caramelized top gets stuck in your teeth.

the best dessert ever and very easy to make although my family runs when i bring out the blow torch to carmalize the sugar,,don't they trust me?? imo the broiler just does not work as well..the topping sugar melts/carmalizes and should crack when you put your spoon in while the underneath is silky smooth... so good, rich but simple. the recipe i use is in Joy of cooking and i think uses a little larger pecentage of cream than the link( i usually double it or triple it or quadruple it hehe) we got a couple at wdw but i like mine better, maybe cause the topping doesn't set well and a few places it was gummy.

Creme Brulee means "burnt cream" in french.

At Christmas it was my goal to try every creme brulee I could. The Best was the Maple Creme Brulee at Le Cellier , followed closely by the Banana Creme Brulee at Kona Cafe. Only one I was slightly disapointed with was the Orange Soarin' one at Epcot.

Both the previous also had Outstanding presentations!

usually the flavor added to it is very light in taste almost an after taste.
key lime, maple, rasberry.

Of all of the sounds in the world, this "crack" is the most wonderful sound ever!! It almost (almost, but not quite) rivals the sound of my baby's first cry! It's that good!

Think of a filling with a light vanilla flavor and the consistency of a light pudding. Then envision a tiny blowtorch that scorches the top of the pudding, creating a thin, sweet-nutty-caramel-flavored crust. It's properly served at or near room temperature.

Go nuts, give it a try!
