Crème Brûlée

Cultural Context

Crème Brûlée, a classic French dessert, is believed to have originated in the 17th century, with variations found in Spain and England. Its name translates to 'burnt cream,' referring to the caramelized sugar topping that contrasts with the rich, creamy custard beneath. This dessert is often associated with fine dining and special occasions, and its popularity has led to numerous adaptations worldwide, including flavors like chocolate and fruit-infused versions.
