At Ici et Là, the Crème Brûlée is celebrated as a quintessential French dessert. Crafted with precision and care by Chef Philippe Dupré, this creamy, custard-based dessert is a testament to the simplicity and elegance of French patisserie. Topped with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust, it offers a delightful contrast of textures.
Crème Brûlée, which literally means “burnt cream” in French, is a dish with a rich history in European cuisine. Its smooth, velvety custard base, flavored with vanilla and other aromatics, is chilled and then topped with a thin layer of sugar, which is caramelized to create a hard, glass-like top layer. This contrast between the creamy custard and the brittle caramelized sugar is what makes Crème Brûlée a perennial favorite.
