A bit of history…
Crème brûlée, this delicious dessert with Melting centre and thinly caramelised crust, remains charming through the centuries. Its origin is disputed between France, Spain (where it is similar to crema catalana) and even England with the famous Trinity Cream from the 17th century. Yet, it was in France that it truly made its mark.
Today, we're revisiting this recipe with a subtle touch of Meibon spices, for an even more fragrant and comforting version, reminiscent of the sweets of yesteryear.
