Crema Catalana or Catalan cream is the Spanish version of the creamy and delicate crème brulée of French fame. Once you taste the burnt sugar crust and delicate creamy custard underneath, you may eat the batch all by yourself.
Traditionally, Spaniards create a spiral shape with a heated iron on the top, but you can caramelize them using your oven’s broiler. Just watch them carefully—sugar burns quickly.
