July 21st, 2025 is National Creme Brulee Day
The exact origins of creme brulee are unclear because there are similar custard and caramel dishes in several cultures. However this dessert is unique that it contains a hard, caramelized layer of sugar over the custard base. The custard base is most commonly a vanilla flavor, but has evolved to be everything from chocolate to pumpkin. The caramelized sugar topping is made by coating the custard with a sugar layer and using a blow torch or broiler to cook the sugar to liquid state, then it hardens as it cools.
Creme Brulee is one of the most popular desserts on CDKitchen (and CDK's Valerie Whitmore's absolute favorite).
