Crema Catalana

Indulge in the rich history and tantalizing flavors of Crema Catalana, a traditional Spanish dessert hailing from the beautiful region of Catalonia. As one of Europe's oldest recorded desserts, dating back to a medieval Catalan cookbook in 1324, this luscious treat is a true culinary masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Similar to its French counterpart, crème brûlée, Crema Catalana boasts a luxurious creamy custard base that is delicately flavored with citrus peel and aromatic cinnamon. However, what sets Crema Catalana apart is its use of whole milk and a hint of starch for thickening, resulting in a distinctive texture and taste that is sure to captivate your taste buds. Elevate your dessert game with this exquisite Spanish delicacy that promises to delight with every spoonful. Join me in exploring the art of Crema Catalana and savoring the sumptuous flavors of Catalonia.
