Celebrate the victory of the Spanish national football team with a delicious Spanish dessert.
Crema Catalana, also known as Crema Catalana, is a traditional Catalan dessert similar to the French creme brulee. The Catalan version usually has a more intense flavour and a thicker texture than creme brulee. The custard is flavoured with cinnamon, lemon and orange zest and vanilla, with bourbon vanilla being particularly appreciated for its rich flavour.
The process of making custard involves slow-cooking milk with these flavourings, which are then combined with the egg yolk mixture. This gives the custard its characteristic smoothness and thickness. After cooling, brown sugar is sprinkled on the surface of the custard, which caramelises and creates a crisp layer. This contrast between the creamy texture and the crumbly caramel crust is what makes Crema Catalana so special and popular.
