Tasty custard with crystalized sugar on top and the perfect sweet treat
Who’s ready for dessert? Crème Brûlée is a dessert I make often and it’s perfect in these ramekins. They make for a great individualized portion and bake up perfectly. Crème Brûlée is one of those desserts that all celiacs can have as it's naturally gluten free. I love to make it at home when I have eggs or heavy cream on hand, which are two of the key ingredients. The biggest thing for me is patience as they have to cook, cool, add the sugar on top and cool again. They are a super mouthwatering treat and once you have the science down you'll be wanting them all the time.
