Crema Catalana is a traditional Spanish dessert that is reminiscent of crème brûlée. This creamy, custard-like treat is flavored with aromatic lemon zest and has a caramelized sugar topping that adds a perfect crunch. It's an easy and delightful dessert to make, perfect for impressing your guests or enjoying a special treat at home.
- Ensure your lemon zest is very fine to avoid any bitter chunks in your custard.
- Be patient when thickening the custard; cook it on medium-low heat to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- For the caramelized sugar topping, use a kitchen torch for best results. If you don't have a torch, placing the dishes under a hot broiler works as well, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Strain the mixture before cooking to keep it silky smooth, removing any bits of cooked egg.
Once you've mastered this straightforward recipe for Crema Catalana, you'll have a go-to dessert for any occasion. The combination of creamy custard and caramelized sugar is sure to delight your taste buds. Serve it chilled for the ultimate sweet indulgence.
