Creamy Creme Brûlée Recipe

Who doesn't like a custard base recipe, their use very simple ingredients and are all impressive when done.

It may be a little intimidating though, as at any point of time if you overcook the custard the whole dessert will be ruin by turning into sweet scramble eggs.

Low and slow is the key to a great custard base dessert.

Try it out~ Life will not be the same anymore :)
