Crème Brûlée: Burnt Cream

"A dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar."

The magic of Crème Brûlée lies in the breaking. The tap of the spoon against the hard shard of burnt sugar creates a moment of anticipation. Below lies a cool, vanilla-speckled custard, barely set. The bitterness of the dark caramel balances the richness of the cream, creating a sophisticated interplay of temperature and texture.
