Dessert "burned cream" Crme brle literally translates as "burned cream". And really this sweet dessert inside consists of baked cream, and top is covered with caramel crust. Describe the taste of this culinary product is not an easy task, because how many compliments do not say - everything is not enough! The first mention of creme brulee dates from the 17th century, a certain Francois Messalo, who was in charge of the kitchen at the court of the Duke of Orleans. But there is a possibility of an earlier occurrence of this recipe. By the way, there is a Spanish analogue cream-brule - Catalan cream. The principle is the same, but instead of cream, milk is used, but also fatty. As flavors, except for vanillin, sometimes add cinnamon, lemon peel or orange.
